so if your out of town will they starve or do they not really need to eat every day?

Jason, How long do you plan to be out of town?
I have a friend that stops by and makes sure they have water, the lighting is ok and are fed.

i just meant if its a few days,they would be outside though.

I think they would be fine for a few days if they are outside and have water. You could put food out if it drys they may still eat it, they eat dry stuff in the wild.

I have gone away for the weekend (3 days) I feed mine right before I leave and then when I return, mine also have lots of food in there pens so they munch on that. Just make sure they have plenty of water! I have a neighbor stop by and fill up the water dishes, they don't have to know much to fill water bowls.
