Hi There. First time poster. I am preparing to leave town and unfortunately don't have anyone to watch my turtles.
I have 2 RES approximately 6 years old. They live in separate tanks. I will be feeding them tomorrow morning (Friday)
before I leave. How long can they go without being fed? I am planning on returning on Wednesday. Their tanks have been
freshly cleaned as well as their filter systems.
Thanks in advance!
Jennifer

They should be OK for a few days but it's always good if someone can check on them though. Some people leave a few extra feeder fish in the tank or use an automatic pellet dispenser. Is their lighting on timers?

They can easily go from Friday to next Wednesday without feeding. You could put some leafy greens in the tanks before you go.
