Saw this at Petsmart the other day and thought about trying them! what does everyone think? anyone use or try these before?

I have seen those and wondered about them as I will be needing someone to feed my Sheldon whilst I am away. Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything about them whether they are good or bad.

I'm not a big fan of stuff like that.

^^I was kind of leary too. What if he eats it all in one day? Then what? Is it as nutritous as it should be?

[steve]

I think I'd rather trust an automatic timer for a few days over that thing.

^^Strong language from a turtle lover. Advice taken.

How long will you be gone for?

[cutepanda86]

I'll be gone for about 9 days. I'm going to have a friend check in on him though. Someone needs to look at the water quality and levels.

I leave for weeks on end and I use auto feeders to feed the cichlids and Toku. I haven't had a issue. In fact the fish in Toku's tank don't get eaten so I know the feeder feeds him plenty when I'm not here. And my cichlids are all accounted for as well in their tank. No the cichlids are not in Toku's tank;) So basically the auto feeders have worked very good for me.
