need to know the longest period of time you should leave bd,s unattended, and how to feed them enough food to leave them for lets say 2 days.

IT depends on the age of the dragon.

Hatchlings up to about 6 months of age, shouldn't be left alone more than a day (24 period with nobody around to feed etc). Older than 6 months leaving them alone for 2 days is ok. After a year old, 2-4 days tops. Any more than that and you risk the health of the dragon.

If the dragon is well into brumation, leaving them alone for a week or two may not make a difference, but still a good ideal to make sure somebody checks in on them a couple times a week to make sure everything is alright.

I don't recommend leaving a dragon alone at all if it is not currently healthy and problem free. A sick dragon left alone can quickly die if untreated.
