Absolutely! I would forget to feed mine for a week and he lived for years! The only thing to worry about is the water temp. If it gets too hot/cold, then he will die. But he won't die of starvation in a couple days....or even a week!

Betta can go about a week without food so you would be OK, and if your still afraid you should get a thing that will feed you fish at a certain time

It will be fine as long as you change the water and feed him right before you leave. Bettas can live without food for a few days.

Change the water before and after your vacation if you are using feeder blocks. The feeder blocks last a week? Never mind, I think they could survive another 3 days without food, especially the betta.

Yes, he will be fine for up to a week without any food. Word of caution: Don't try feeding him "extra" before you leave. Overfeeding is very dangerous for your betta. He will be perfectly fine without food.

You can buy fish food blocks for vacation but it is not recommended. Check out the link regarding Vacation Fish Care.

Should be just fine for a week while you are away. Just change the water a day before you leave so it will stay clean during your vacation.
