How many days can you go without feeding your Leo? I'm gonna be gone a day and a half (but i have no more crickets, roomate knocked their cage over and the pet store doesn't get more until tomorrow)

your leo will be fine. i'm not sure exactly how long they can go, but they'll definitely be okay for the day and a half you're away :)

that's good

she was a little on the skinny side when i got her, so i've made sure she gets all the food she wants. There will only be one actual day where she doesn't get to eat [Saturday]

yep, im leaving this weekend too, and kiki won't get to eat saturday, either. i'll be leaving some mealies in a bowl, even though she won't eat out of a bowl, just in case :)

im leaving for two days this weekend as well. just gonna do a quick spot clean and plop a bunch of mealies in their bowls before i leave. there are days when i do that even when im in town but know that i will be too busy to tend to them on a certain day. part time job plus full time student gets hard :) anyways, your leo will be fine. :)

I think they can last without food for about 4-7 months depending on how well fed they are and how fat their tail is. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I dont know exactly how long they can go w/o food, but I do know its a long time, several weeks at least, esp if it is healthy and has a nice plump tail.

No, lack of food would be the least of my worries, what worries me more is making sure their moist hide does not dry up while I'm away.
It would be just my luck that that would be the time they decide to shed!! :main_lipsrsealed:

I can confirm that these guys are very hardy. I had a friend that kept several leos and wasn't the best at remembering to feed/water them. Even with sporadic feedings and some long stints they were plenty fat and healthy.
