Feeding and Nutrition :: Can I leave??

[CharlieBear]

I am going home for Thanksgiving (I'm at college) and I don't think I can take my 2 baby cooters (about 3 inches each) with me. I will only be gone for three days, but is that too long??? They usually eat turtle pellets and lettuce everyday, and they don't eat fish (they have had a school of guppies in the tank for over 6 months) so what can I feed them that will hold them over until I get back?

I left for what was going to be one day and ended up four, and my almost 3" RES was fine. He looked a bit mad and had quite the appetite, but he survived and didn't even eat any of the 5 fish in the tank!

They will be fine, as long as the heater, and filter are working properly, and the basking lights are on a timer.

If I'm away for a few days, I usually give mine a little bit extra pellets, and a big piece of lettuce to hold them over.
