thats a good point, how long can you go without feeding them some turtles? i suppose it depends ont he size/age of the animals in question? or not?

there are automatic feeders for fish that have an adjustable door to allow different amounts of food and different sized food. they cost about $20 or maybe a little more. the nutramatic 2X is what i have used and my dad always uses it. that would probably be good. however if they arent really eating that much anyways you may not have to do anything. with the automatic feeder it is good to buy it at least a week ahead of time and try it so you know it wont under/overfeed them. set it up and use it for a few days then just refill it right before you leave.
