Will my tiretrack be ok if he goes 7-14 days at a time(Mostly 7-10) without being feed? I drive for aa living and the change in the economy means more time on the road. When I do get home it can be for 3-7 days so they will have a chance to get well fed before going out again. Have a neighbor that might be willing to feed them when I'm gone for more then 7 days.

I hate to give them up but do not want to have them suffer either.
 
16" - 22" Mine wiil eat like pigs one day then reject everything offered for a few days, and there nice and plump
 
They eat only earthworms,the one will eat krill sometimes.
 
IMO larger eels are kind of like snakes...they can go a week without eating and be ok. I don't do it regularly but I have gone a week without feeding and my large eel was perfectly fine. Then again, one of my eels also goes a couple days without eating on his on. He just doesn't eat everytime I feed.
 
i have a fire and tt, they eat every 2-4 days and only with brine, earthworms, or ghost shrimp, they just won't eat everyday
 
should be fine... i trained my fish to eat only once a week or so because in july ill be gone for two weeks so yeah...
