Is anyone aware of an automatic feeder? I am going away for 7 days and don't have anyone to feed my turtle.

You can buy the kind for aquarium fish and put food in it that you use for your aquatics. If this is a terrestrial turtle it can probably go without food for a week if it is healthy and a healthy, heavy. Just feed him well before you leave and reduce the temp 10 degrees.

Be sure someone comes at least once to give him a change of water. Or make sure the water does not tip over and he has nothing to drink for a week! Tess
