grass turtles are not fierce, they are gentle and docile in character. Moreover, they are less daring, and when attacked or frightened, they will retract their limbs and heads into the tortoise family. Most of the farmed turtles like to bask in the sun in the corner, and will not actively attack the same kind or other animals.
But grass turtles have a strong possessive desire for territory and mates. If there is not enough room for breeding, they will fight for the chassis. In addition, after male turtles are in heat, if the number of female turtles is small, they will fight for their mates.
2. Can grass turtles bite?Under normal feeding conditions, grass turtles will not bite. As mentioned above, they are mild in character, but there are also several special cases where grass turtles may bite people.
For example, when grass turtles are too hungry, if someone puts their hands or other parts in front of grass turtles, they will use human hands as food and then go up and bite them. Also, when the host interacts with them, they will bite the host's hand in order to show their intimacy to the host.
Never pull violently after being bitten by grass fruit, because it will not only hurt people, but also hurt grass turtles. The correct way to do this is to knock on their carapace or poke them in the eye, so that they will let go quickly.
