I will be away for around 3 days, Will the turtle be able to survive the time period? Today is Thursday i fed them some shrimp before I left, Do you think they will make it till Sunday night?

3 days is fine. You can feed a little additional food the day before you leave and a little extra when you get back. A healthy turtle can last a week without food, though at that point, you can consider automatic feeders. Enjoy your trip without any worries!

Not if you are my little boy. Any leaves are gone in minutes.
