Pregnant Livebearers! Big Problem!

[eBenZo]

Okay here's the low-down, I have two quite heavily pregnant guppies and possibly a pregnant platy.
They are not SO pregnant that they require isolation yet but give them another week or so and I reckon they'll be giving birth.
Problem is, I'm off on holiday abroad next Monday for roughly 12 days, which is probably when the little fry will be born.

What should I do?!
I'm not very close with my neighbours, and my parents don't know any of my friends who keep fish well enough to provide them with a copy of the housekeys.

Feeding is sorted, I think. An Auto-feeder should handle the 2 week period, or is there a better alternative, e.g. live food?

Thank you fishforumers!

All you need to do is add as much live plants as you can get your hands on
Java moss is one of the best I use this will provide a safe hide out for the fry and also provide them with any food they will require

As for your auto feeder do not over feed your fish while you are away as this will upset your water balance in no time at all if I were to use one I would see if I could set it for every other day and only giving them a small amount so they clean up all the food if they leave any it will just rot in the bottom of your tank
Hope this helps

How is java moss bought from the LFS, and does it have to be grown? I only have 2 days left!
