:( Ive been called away for 3 1/2 days for a family emergency. I leave tomorrow. Will my turtle be ok? Should i feed him extra before i leave? Hes got his special light, heater and dock and I changed the water earlier today. Hes over 2 1/2 years old.
Any suggestions?

I think he'll be OK, feed it before you go, if you're worried, buy 1 or 2 rosies and put them in the tank or leave a big piece of lettuce. He'll be happy to see you when you'll come back!

See the TURTLE of enormous girth!
On his shell he holds the earth.
His thought is slow but always kind;
He holds us all within his mind.

Put in a few rosies and a bunch of anacharis, then make sure and offer a regular amount of pellets before you leave. Your turt will be fine. You might consider leaving a key with a neighbor in case you have to be gone longer.
