    Should I wait or nah?

    I am going out of town in a few days for 5 days from my little guy. He is 3 months old and I have a friend changing the water and keeping humidity up so he is set there. The question is, should I feed him the night before I leave which is Friday and 4 days from the last time I fed him; or wait till I'm home which will be 8 days after feeding. Any suggestions? It's on the border line of too quick to feed or waiting too long.

    You can choose either one. 5 days is nothing. Don't worry about it.

    NEVER feed an animal before leaving town, should the animal regurgitate the next day or the one after that, you would only come back to a stench but could also come back to worse.

    Feed upon returning.

    Wise move!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
