I have left Bruce for a max of 3 days before. He survived just fine. I would say that 4 would be OK, but understand I'm basing that on a gut feeling-- nothing more.

4 days would probably be okay. Just in case you could leave both dry food in the cage and a small bowl of water that can't be tipped over. The bowl may be full of substrate when you get back, but I'm sure you'll feel better about leaving.
Another option might be to put a chunk of potatoe in there, or if you can find it a de-spined cactus pad.

Hmmm, not so sure about what that tater chunk is gonna do but, worry not, he'll be OK. A month's absence might pose some issues but, a few days away won't hurt a desert animal. Lack of everything is what they've adapted to over the past few millions. You being gone for that short period shouldn't have any impact.
