Reptisand®, 10 Pounds, Desert White

We use this sand to fill several different sized containers in two different habitats for our beloved dwarf hamster. We also used it with our previous dwarf hamster (sadly, they have very short lifespans). They love to roll in the sand, and apparently it helps clean the fur. The sand never sticks to the fur, and it does not make any dust that we can see when they roll in it. It is endlessly entertaining to watch them roll, and our friends love to see videos of it. Sometimes the hamsters will use one of the sand containers as a litter box, and the sand is very absorbent and makes clumps. The sand is always very fine, consistent and pure. We have never seen any irregular sized or discolored grains. Zoo Med seems to have excellent quality control. I think the "Desert White" name for the color is a bit misleading. It is really more of a light tan than a white. But regardless, it is a neutral, light shade that hides stains and does not get yellow, unlike the white small animal soft bedding that we use throughout the main enclosure. I would not use or recommend "playground", "sandbox", landscaping sand or any kind of sand available at big-box hardware stores or garden centers, or beach sand, for hamsters. It could have contaminants, mites, dust etc. We are totally satisfied with Reptisand, and even though it seems to be marketed strictly to reptile owners, we highly recommend it for hamsters based on our own experiences. Perhaps the manufacturer should change the name or add some reference or graphic on the bag about hamsters - "Repti/HamSand" maybe?

I am using this brand for the first time, it was clean and super fine dust with no impurities Recommended

Acquistata sotto consiglio per il mio criceto siriano, la adora.

Muy buen producto

Bra sand som jag använder till mina hamstrar. Men jag köpte för hemleverans men fick ändå hämta hos ombudet.
