    can I feed my ball again? (going outta town)

    So I'm going outta town next week Thursday till sunday night. I just fed her monday night nd I'm usually on a 5 day schedule atm. I'd I feed her tomorrow, I wouldn't be able to feed her again till next Sunday which will be a 8 days sincre last feeding. She's an 81g baby. I'm hoping I could feed her tonight nd then wednesday

    Also any other special things I need to do since I won't be here nd have nobody else to check on her?

    You could feed tomorrow then Wednesday, or just skip a feeding. Either option will be fine.

    Your feeding schedule tomorrow and next Wednesday should be just fine, I wouldn't worry to much if she doesn't feed on Wednesday. I would make sure the cage is free of any bio (poo & pee) before you leave, also make sure she has fresh water before you leave.

    The only other thing I would do is put your thermostat on a dimmer as a back up (I think your running a hydrofarm?) You will have to spend a little time calibrating the dimmer without the hydrofarm to make sure it is keeping the appropriate temps, but this way if you come back and you Hydrofarm goes out on you, you will have a dimmer as a back up.
