    Default Going, Going, Gone

    I will be leaving for camp soon, a camp the lasts from monday-saturday. I cannot afford a babysitter. Will my three (fat, healthy) american toads be able to survive for almost a week without food? They are fat and they move around a lot so they are extremely healthy. Also, I am allowed to keep my toads inside the house now for those who were wondering.

    Can't your parents or sister take care of them for you?

    Feed them just a tad bit more until you leave. Make sure to give them clean water too. They should be fine.

    Is there a Nature or science center close by that would care for them? Or maybe a reptile/amphibian place. No other friends or family that would help out?

    Nope. I believe that they will do fine, we are feeding them a tad bit more than usual right now to get them fat enough, but not to much so their eating habits become disrupted.

    Your best bet is to leave them in the terrarium the entire time. I don't feel comfortable saying but.....they'll be fine for six days.

    All you have to do is wash your hands well and rinse very well between animal care .

    With a pet bunny (do you keep it inside?) I would recommend learning how to trim their nails. I was about your age when I learned how to trim my cats', dog's, and bunny's nails. Maybe your parents can help you out with that. It is worth it! Before you try it yourself though, I would recommend having a vet show you or having your parents help you look at videos online to learn how to do it properly. You don't want to clip too far or it will bleed and it will hurt them. I always keep quickstop (a powder to stop the bleeding if you cut too far) on hand but have never had to use it on a cat or bunny, just our old dog a couple of times.

    Yes, I agree with Amy. That is probably a good idea to prevent yourself from getting cut.
