Feeding my hatchlings whilst Im away

I have currently got 8 hatchlings left to sell which are feeding on pinkies every 6 days my dilema is that I am going away for a week mid november and was wondering if it will be ok for the hatchlings to miss a feed, I dont really have anyone that I can trust to come in and feed them-

Any advice appreciated.
 
Go for it! If it's under two weeks, I don't even think about 'em, except to have water bowls cleaned and replaced.
 
I'd put in an extra water bowl with each one, too. I think having someone come "babysit" is just begging for an escape.
 
yes exactly my parents are coming round to feed my mice and cat but they are not too keen on the snakes so will make sure they all have plenty of water before I go.
 
Yeah, I was going to suggest the same thing. They don't have to handle to snakes or the dead mice to check their water level and top off if needed...
 
Your snakes should be perfectly fine. My little hatchling went five weeks without a feed and was fine. (I didn't do it on purpose he wouldn't eat) They are all right they just need water. Thats the huge advantage to snake pets. They don't need a lot of around the clock care.
 
If it's under 2 months they'll be fine. A week is nothing! I didn't feed my babies for at least 2 weeks when I moved and they were all fine.
 
thanks my mum came round yesterday and she should be fine with just checking water, will give them all fresh paper before I go as well and they are in individual tubs but in a viv so if they do get out they wont get out of the viv.
