Hi,
My family and I are planning on going on vacation for 3 days and I'm nervous about leaving my baby Ryder so I need some advice... My mom normally comes by my house to feed my dogs after she gets off of work in the evenings but since he is only about 3 months old and needs more care with the feeding schedule, lighting and misting I told her that I will just take him to her house. The problem I am having is that I don't want to take his whole tank to her house since its a 40GB and way too heavy and big to move. I was wondering if I can use put him into something temporary for the 3 days when he is over there? I missed out on the $1 per gallon sale at Petco which just ended so don't want to spend that much on another tank. I could purchase a 20-29 gallon tank which isn't too expensive at Petsmart but worried that he may get stressed out because its smaller and not what he is used to. I do plan on setting it up the same as the one he is in now. The only thing I will probably need to change is the heat lamp especially if he is going into a smaller tank. Any ideas on what can be used for a temporary tank or if the 20-29 gallon will work???
