    Well you will have no choice but have someone come in. Pacman yes he can be without food for a week or two if it's an adult, but you have to have someone change his water daily and spot clean if needed, flood substrate if it dries out, that is provided you have temps/humidity on controllers.

    Adult red eyes will be fine for a week with no food, provided you have everything plugged into controllers. Paul has covered that one.

    You got to remember even if you put 2 water dishes with the pacman frog that when he is an adult when he poops and pees these are not small. So even putting more then one dish if he pees in them lets say and doesn't poop he is still going to absorb that in when he sits in the water. And sitting for a week or two in that kinda heat and humidity you are bound to grow some kind of bacteria in the water and he is going to absorb it and more then likely become sick. If you could get a friend or family member to check on your frogs that would be your best bet I think going away for that long. And im not saying he will absolutely become sick but sitting in that kind of water you would probably have a high risk.

    Good thing about pacs that they live in small tanks, so you can also find some teen kid, old enough to change water and be responsible, yet young enough not to ask much $ for it and bring the tank to their house.

    Check at your local pet stores for someone to help, that's what I did last time I went on vacation because my reds were still young. I would also make sure you have TREATED water in jugs ready for them so they don't accidentally forget.

    okay, I have a couple family members and friends that could take care of one of the frogs. However I do not think they will feed crickets so is it possible they could just keep the humidity in check, spot clean, and change the water?
