I wouldnt be able to leave to go anywhere without making sure someone was there to take care of my babies if I cant take them. There is absolutely nobody near you that will watch over and feed your babies when you're gone? You could prepare food and leave it in tupperware in the freezer/refrigerator and have them set the food in the cage.

I sure hope you don't plan on leaving them alone for 2 days? You can try your vet's office or another glider owner in your area

When we go out of town we have all of their meals prepared ahead and in tuperware containers and asked a friend to feed them. If you absolutely cannot find anyone, you could always leave pellets in there. I would not make it a habit of course and I'm sure there are people gasping at the thought of giving them pellets, but it's a temporary situation, so I think it would work. 
If there is anyone at all though that could at least come in and just check on them, that would be great. I am more worried about them being alone for 2 days rather than the diet part of it.

I'm so glad you have someone who knows what they are doing taking care of your babies while you are going to be gone.

Run out of water in two days? I am 99.9% sure you could take steps to prevent that. ??? Also, let's be realistic, if they get hungry enough, they will eat the pellets. Lots of people keep pellets in their cages for a 24/7 snack.
