I travelled to another city today but I somehow forgot to feed my 4 month old redfoot before I left. I will be back at dawn tomorrow, but if he is not okay without being fed for a day I can rush back as my house is 4 hours away. Is he okay to go a day without feeding for a day or should I drive back now?
I forgot to feed my tortoise!

He should be fine . But don't let it happen again or you're going to bed with no food . Kidding but he should be fine .
Yes, he will be fine. Maybe a little mad at you, but fine and he'll get over it as soon as you feed him tomorrow.
He could go weeks with no food and be fine. Don't worry about it.
(Don't skip feeding him for weeks either...)

No way! The same thing happened to me today! I got so caught up trying to identify a new potential food that I forgot to give them food. Lol! I quickly fixed the situation since it had only been a couple hours, but they weren't too impressed.
I never did find out what kind of plant it was either... I have three that are like that right now...
EDIT: No way. I found it! Only two left to identify now.

it's fine sometimes i'll take off for the weekend 2-3 days i just make sure there is fresh water and i feed a larger amount then normal when i get back he's always waiting for me right in the feeding area
I sometimes forget to feed my russian, and feel really horrible afterward when I realize, but doesn't hold grudges and is immediately forgives me when I give an extra large portion in the morning
