Well here I go with another question...
I am on the Cross-Country team at my college, although the season does not officialy start until the Fall Semester 2007, we do have indoor meets that we can enter if we wish. I am thinking about participating in a couple of these events. At most, I'll be gone for a day. While I'm on the topic, once our actuall season starts next fall, I might be gone for a day and a half maybe pushing two days. Is it okay to leave my hermies for 2 days tops? Is there anything i should do before I leave...leave extra food, water, etc.

hmm. I think it'd be fine, as long as you have stable humidity/temperature. Add extra food, and water, and I think they would be just fine.

I agree. I think it would be ok. If it is gonna be longer maybe you could have a friend check in on them.

Yah I can have my roommate check on them. I know I have one meet at Penn State, it's pretty big so we go down early.

just dont leave in fresh food because it will attract bugs.
