    Vacation

    I am going on vacation for 10 days and my roommate is going to make sure the temperature and humidity is good but she won't feed her. I feed my baby bp every 5 days. I was wondering if I should feed her 2 mice the day I leave or just one and feed her the day I get back.

    Thank you for your help

    I would not recommend feeding the day you leave but at least feed 5 to 7 days before your departure.

    While the risk of regurgitation is low the last thing you would want is for it to happen while you are gone it could be a nightmare to deal with.

    Feed way before or when you comeback.

    Here's another thing to consider. If they defecate, or urinate, will your roommate spot clean?
    If not, factor that into your feeding schedule.

    So I have decided to feed her a couple days before I go and the day i get back and have my roommate keep an eye on her and if she urinates or defecates while I am gone she is going to have her son (he is 21) clean it up. He doesn't have a problem cleaning, or picking her up but he still won't feed her.

    Thank you all for your replies
