Before I get flamed, let me give you background.
I'm located in the flooded Cedar Rapids, IA where on Tuesday the 10th we had to be evacuated. I had to leave behind my 7 year old red-headed red footed tortoise Lona and my 5 year old male Russian tortoise Eli behind, with our car full already with 3 large dogs, 2 cats. I left them with enough food and water for 7 days. But we haven't been allowed back in our house since then, since the basement is deemed unsafe. And its been 0 days as of today that they have been alone in the house. We might be able to get back in tomorrow...but it looks more like Saturday that we will be able to safely enter the house. And the animal rescue couldn't safely enter our house to retrieve them.
Question is, how long can they survive without water or food?
