Two Day's Worth / Feeders

[Rush2112]

Question. Ego is a 5.5 month old male Panther. I will be leaving town this morning and won't return until Sunday morning. Should I put enough crix in his enclosure (2X2X4) to last today and tomorrow? I hand fed him 2 Silks and 3 of the larger 4 week crix. Then I thought I would put 10 more crix for today which added with earlier feeding matches his daily. Then also put in about 15-20 more crix to last through tomorrow. Good or Bad? I've seen him leave 5-10 crix on his own and haven't seen them bother him while sleeping so...
Thanks in advance and have a great weekend y'all!

dont leave fre-roaming crickets in the enclosure. fine to leave extra silkworms though.
a day without food wont hurt him, so if you feed today and again when you get home on Sunday its a total non-issue.
more important is ensuring someone provides him with daily water

what sandra said. it's better to miss a day than to have free roaming crickets that will bite him .

I would fill him up on crickets before you leave, then remove the remainder. Throw some silks in there to tide him over until you return

Safe travels!

Cool deal thank you

Yep - as long as he is receiving proper hydration, the food will be just fine. Enjoy your trip!

Yep, everything else is on auto pilot (lights & water)
