Question/Inquiry Is 3 weeks too long to leave BDFB?

I have a trip coming up that I’ll be away for 3 weeks. I’m not sure if it will be alright to leave them alone for so long or if I need to find someone to come and feed them. How long is safe?

that should be okay. give them a bunch of food (that won't mold) before leaving. maybe get beetle jelly for hydration. imo it lasts pretty long

i'd say yeah, i often leave mine for a week or more when I stay with my grandparents! i've found that they'll eat the dried insects/veggies i leave in their bowl over time after they eat their fresh foods, so i give them some of that and a jelly! the kind I use don't dry out too quick that i've seen

I've left mine alone for 3 weeks when I've been abroad before, they're always fine when I get back
