Going away for a weekend

[Lunatic768]

hi guys
i was wondering how you guys would prep your beardie if you were going away for the weekend
my family goes skiing every weekend and my mom is worried now that i have a pet i cant got anymore
so assuming your lights are on timers of course
i would leave late friday and return evening sunday
what do you guys do for this situation? leave salad and worms? just salad? thoughts?
thanks

How old is your beardie? That will make a big difference as to how to handle.
And yes, definitely a timer.

Im not sure exactly, I just emailed the breeder
but hes 13 inches nose to tail right now

Does anybody have any thoughts on this?
or can there be no way to give advice without knowing how old the dragon is exactly?

Maybe have someone come by once a day (sat and sun) to refresh the salad and give some insects (and maybe clean poo). That's what I will do in a few weeks when I leave, I'll even ask for the sitter to come twice a day because my beardie is less than 1 year old.

At 13 inches, I don't think you should leave a beardie that long.

he is just a lizard. in the wild they dont eat everyday, i woulnt worry about it. i have left my dragon with plenty of salad and fruits. if he is hungry he will eat the salad and fruits. just give him some crickets when you come home and right before you leave.

You can leave enough roaches for couple days because roahces won't bite your dragon.
