Time to Travel, what to do ???

I am going to London for 10 days this summer, will my BPs be ok for 10 days alone without change of water and substrate (newspaper)? How long can they go without water and without cage cleaning?

I have to get someone to come over and monitor my bp. Feeding is not an issue, but my water evaporates out every 4-5 days if it is not changed/refilled. I also don't like to leave feces in the cage. As soon as I notice I clean. If you have someone who can just check water and change soiled substrate it would be best.

I guess it depends on if you have evaporation issues and if your bp is due for a bm while you're gone. It's always good to have someone look in on them. What if the power goes out or there is an escape?

I would put two bigger water bowls in each cage, and lower the temp by 5 to 10 degrees.
Thanks. Eric
