Im leaving for 3 days so will it be fine if he dosent eat for 3 days?

[HaydaBear]

Hes a Russian Tortoise and it will be only 3 days but i didnt know if it will hurt him. Hes 4-5 inches and if its not fine should i leave food in the cage or feed him alot before i leave? Thanks!

where do you live? maybe some one in this forum lives by you and can help.

You can always leave some extra food, russians don't mind dry food mine eat it all the time. 3 days won't hurt.

I think it would be better to have someone check on him.

Hi Haydabear:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

May we know your name and where you are?

Buy a head of escrole and leave it in with him. Escrole lasts better than other leaf stuff. 3 days with that, and he will be fine. I would not even think twice, regardless of the torts size.

He will be fine. When I go away I will take my hatchlings with me, but my adult tortoises stay home and they are just fine. Throw down some extra greens (as mentioned above, "heads" last longer than cut greens) and don't worry about it.
