Vacation

[Fish]

I am going on vacation for 9 days, what should I do with my geckos. I can't get a house sitter btw. Should i just leave them like 250 mealies and a deep deep water dish?

Are they in separate cages? How old are they? And there's no one you can have come in even once to check on them?

 

[STUTFL]

If they're adults and you feed them well before you leave, you'll only have about 2 feedings to worry about while you're gone ... the water in my leo's fairly deep dish would dry up in a week, though.

They are together in a 30x12, they are 7-8"

 

[STUTFL]

Have they lived in the same tank for a long time?

 

[Fish]

Since i got them in late February.

 

[STUTFL]

And they get along well? I only ask because I'd be nervous leaving them together for over a week unsupervised if I wasn't confident they'd get along. One more thing to stress them out.

 

[Fish]

They get along really well.

You can buy these water bottle things from petko or online that hold over 8 ounces of water, which should definitely last how long you need. However, you need to think about keeping the moist hide moist. This is very important because chances are high that one of you geckos will shed that week and if the hide isn't moist it can lead to big problems like lost toes.
