In case i'm going away on a trip this summer, for let's say a week or so, should I feed my leo in preparation? I intend to purchase a timer to automate my UV and Light cycle in the tank, so that won't be a problem, i'm just wondering about feeding. I don't have my Leo let, he's being held at a local pet store, but my family has been talking about going on a trip for a while now.

The heat thermostat should be in control of that, the heat source should be plugged into a timer which is plugged in a heat thermostat with a heat dial for temp. This makes sure that the uvb and heat are on 12 hours, off 12 hours

Would it also be ok to leave a few crickets in the enclosure so he can hunt if he gets hungry?

mk, so some small dubias? Crickets might jump out and i'm scared mealworms might turn into aggressive beetles
