The grass turtle usually starts to eat slowly from April to August every year. The grass turtle is a kind of poikilothermic animal, and all its physiological activities are closely related to the change of temperature. Especially its digestive function, the lower the temperature, the weaker its digestive ability, so in autumn and winter, its appetite will quickly reduce or even enter the hibernation period after no longer eat. In April of the next year, it gradually wakes up from hibernation and begins to gradually resume eating, and when it reaches the most suitable temperature of 22 to 28 degrees Celsius, that is, June to August, it eats the most. Therefore, grass turtles gradually begin to eat from April to August every year.
