I have to go out of town for a week. I have a Russian tortoise that I care for. I have his lights/heating on timer, so that's fine. But I'm worried about how to make sure he's fed. I'm unable to get anyone to watch over him or anything like that. I also can't take him with me.
So ... are there any options for this? I've left him alone for two-three days before and just loaded him up on some lettuce, and he was fine. But I'm worried about leaving him that long - the lettuce will wilt, I'm not even sure how much to leave.
Is there a sort of pellet & pellet dispenser combo I could give him for a week? Do Russians even eat those pellets? Maybe a head of lettuce would stay okay since he could eat his way through it?
Thoughts? Thank you!
