Personally, I’d never leave my animals without food for an extended period of time...a couple days at the most. While they can go weeks/months without substantial food intake this is not something you want to practice in captivity--it can cause high stress levels which can lead to more serious issues, especially for recovering animals. I would continue to ask around...that’s about the only thing I can think of.
