Can I leave my baby sulcata tortoise unattended for three to four days?

I am going on vacation and I do not know whether or not my baby sulcata will be able to be left unattented for 3-4 days if i make sure to change his water before and after I leave him, and leave him with enough food and a UVB light in the tank.

Sulcata alone

I would also add the fact that tortoises can get flipped over by accident and if they are left like that it can make them sick, or harm them. I'd have someone check on them as well! :)

I would have someone check on the tortoise at least once each day. Things can go wrong. Lights can burn out. Water spills. Animals can injure themselves.

Keep it slow and steady.
