I need to leave for 48 hrs and have exhausted all contacts for someone to feed my 2 gliders. They eat all sorts of fresh foods as well as enjoy the full nutrition pellets.
I'm considering as a last resort, leaving a gravity feeder filled with the pellets and 2 drip bottles of water, if a human caregiver doesn't come through. Would really appreciate your thoughts and other suggestions. Thanks community!

I would go with 3 or more water bottles, just as an extra precaution.

I would leave two large bowls they can't tip over filled with pellets.
I feed ohpw, but do have happy glider cereal in a bowl. the bowl is
connected to the cage with a metal holder and can't be spilled.

I think for 48 hours, plenty of water, and pellets (that they have
eaten in the past) they would be ok.
I would also keep them in a mostly dark room. or one that will get dark at
night.

Thanks so much for your reply. I thought of getting a couple of gravity feeders b/c they attach to the 'wall', but I wondered if they'd know to look for their food if the top layer gets hid from the remnants of the pellets. www.chewy.com/kaytee-gravity-bin-mounting-bracket/dp/128994?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Kaytee&utm_term=&gclid=CjwKCAiAxMLvBRBNEiwAKhr-nH7LL749KyIOgr5J4hY4pccFOS_DdSGV2xTdgSYzkIcK3wO8Sk29PBoCWKgQAvD_BwE

The pellets are Glide r chow.
Thank you again.

glider r chow is happy glider cereal. its good.

www.pet-pro.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2

pp just buys happy glider and repackages it as glider r chow, PLUS
a markup in price. Same with glider r gravy. that is critterlove instant, just
repackaged and marked up in price.

I would buy happy glider, FREEZE unused portion to keep it fresh.
I would buy critterlove instant and save some money. OR get critterlove
PLUS your gliders will like it a lot more.
