feeding while on vacation

[afb]

Hello,
I have a healthy and active 9 month old male betta. Is it safe to not feed him for one week while I am on vacation? I normally feed him Topfin Betta Bits from Petsmart (4 pellets twice per day). He is in a clean 2 gallon tank with 2 small snails. A friend of mine with fish experience said it would be fine.
Thank you!

i know bettas can go without food for 3-4 days. but a week is getting risky. is there someone you know that can feed it once in the middle of the week (just has to be once).

yeah..a week is a long time with nothing to eat :(

OK. I will ask a friend to come once and feed him. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
