going on holiday

Post by hali »

Hi,

we are going to visit my mum in Cyprus for 2 weeks after Easter, and want to know often my 3 figure 8s and 5 bumblebees will need feeding????? i feed every other day at moment.

mum in law has offered to come in and feed and check on them but dont want to bother her every day - so how long do you think she can leave it between visits - would 3 days inbetween be ok ? feeding them a little more????

thanks

twice a week should be OK so long as the foods are sufficiently small for the BBG's each feeding.

Get them eating freeze-dried plankton & such & dole out the exact amount of foods you want to feed them (every other day is fine), in little paper/plastic cups.
