Definitely something I will go back to if rescuing picks up again (right now I am content with 3 hamsters, so until the one foster goes, definitely going to slow down on taking hamsters in).

I definitely will not be rescuing/rehoming guinea pigs in the near future. It was more of a "look what we found, you like animals, here you go!" type of thing. They were rehomed to someone on the guinea pig forum, so I do get to see loads of photos of them in their own room whenever I go and check

Thanks for the info on silica. I think in my head I had it gathered like those silica gels that come in food that say "do not eat" lol. Definitely didn't know much about silica, so that was really helpful. I'll pick up a bag of that desert sand as it is something I've been meaning to try and I am getting a Savic anyway I think
I did see your threads on the gp forum a while back. Shame you couldn't keep them after all the effort you put in. They do seem very happy and their new owner is constantly talking about the 'goblins' and their antics.

Sorry, a savic?
