General Care Discussion :: Vacation

[Araeshi]

I am leaving on vacation pretty soon, and wanted to ask if you thought it was alright if I left my turtles at home for the two weeks.

I know during the winter they can go without eating for two weeks because they just dont eat much during those months but during the summer they become pigs.

you should wait for someone with more experience to reply,but leaving them alone that long with no food doesn't sound like a good idea...is there anyone else who could check on them for you?

[TinySlider2]

Is their anyone that could come and feed them while you are away? How big are your turtles?

ABSOLUTELY , do NOT leave your turtles alone for 2 weeks. its not a good idea at all. anything could happen to them and they would be defenseless. it is important to check on your turtle as much as u can.

if you had someone that could come to your house every other day or so and check up on them and feed them, that would work. i wouldnt worry as much about not feeding them for 2 weeks as i would just leaving them unattended. HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED to leave them alone for 2 weeks.

Okay, thank you.

I am going to find someone to take care of the turtles while Im gone. ^^
