Questions & Answers
Thanks for reading! Hamsters in the calico color range do not exist, so I think you mean Syrians? The Hammie friend of mine loves this treat. It will work on any hamster! It is not a good idea to use dust outdoors, since it clogs their respiratory systems. That's right, you can do that!
I believe this sand is safe to use as a bath for hamsters.
All I had to do was place You are the one who has to decide. It does not matter what the hamsters do, they just roll around
However it is true that it is more of a pinkish, light tan color, and I have heard that sifted playsand/sandbox sand works just as well. There is no odor to sandbox sand, and it is white Since it is meant for children, it is toxic. That stuff is bright white! However, if you are using sand for any reptile, it should not be used as the only substrate, since most reptiles will not live directly on sand, but rather on clay mixtures. It was easy for me to clean up since I just used it as a slight dusting on my tile for my bearded dragon. I am so happy with the results!

The sand bath works well for both sand and water This product leaves soft clumps of urine spots when used for potty training. You can scoop out clumps with a spoon every day.
I love how soft it is, and so does Minny! Please do your research before buying anything for your animal, and you can wash the sand, which I will try to do as soon as I get home. I only use it for my hamster and I know it is not designed for leopard geckos!.
I've trained her to pee in the sand so she goes to that area mostly. When she first began using the sand, I was so proud of her, and now this is her favorite thing to do I need to use the bathroom. It is very easy to keep your home for the rest of the night, until I clean it again the next morning.
In addition, My hamster loves the sand, and I've been putting it in his cage for almost a year. Because of this, my hamster's enclosure is kept clean since he uses the sand as litter mostly. The sand does clump up when he uses it, allowing him to clean it quicker and easier. The perfect sand bath for your hamster if he.
I feel it is a MESS UP to market this as reptile sand. Regardless of whether it's a critter or not, this WILL have an impact. It is possible that you did not have the same issue with calculus If your reptile is housed in this repti sand, it can build up slowly over time if you have had it for years. Even when softened just a bit, this stuff sticks and clumps like nobody's business. Parents buying this stuff for play sand? This stuff sticks and clumps like crazy Just imagine how much trash you'll have to clean up. Fun is not going to happen. There is no fun to be had Change the substrate to one that is more appropriate and heavier. * My health is otherwise good and I am in good health Leopard geckos fed on fed food are more prone to lethargy than normal leopard geckos. Following the introduction of this sand, the fish showed a distinct lack of appetite one day later. In the next few days, she had not touched food for more than a week, and she finally passed what looked almost like an under-eating This was a developed egg, since it was white, along with a little bit of normal poop and healthy white urine. As I had not thought about her being pregnant (gravid), I removed the fresh poo to examine. I have attached the picture for your reference. it isn't sand from the tank on that napkin. It is her poop which she squished into thin air and revealed to be entirely sand. The poop of her dog. Boys and girls, sand is the way to go. Unlike her, her tank mate hasn't shown this issue, which makes me believe that some fish pass this farewell issue more quickly than others, but in her case, her tank mate appears to have swelling and even some bruising around her abdomen. My plans are to force them to eat laxative with their food and bathe them with warm water until they are eating and pooping regularly until I can resolve the problem. cloaca, which allows them to hydrate their intestinal tract better in case of impaction. )
The labeling on the reptisand is meant to tell you about the product, but does not require it to include any issues or complications that might arise from I urge you to take this warning as well as the numerous forum threads that warn you against this. Having read reviews on such forums, do you think it's worth going to bat with the health of an animal you care for? Do you think it would be worth their death on your behalf or the thousands of dollars required to take them to the vet, to perform x-rays on them A pet-related x-ray will probably tell you what you already know, so be sure to request one Have you thought about taking safe laxatives before having a surgery, or worse, having to have one? It's not possible, it's not going to happen, and there is Is it too good to be true? Try it when you get it, then pour a little bit of water on it and watch it clump like crazy! What will happen in your reptile's digestive tract is what you just described. As a matter of fact, if they could give me no stars, There is a marketing campaign aimed at reptiles, but the product should not be used with In some ways, it's like that. The idea of marketing a Ford Focus to the army for safe troop transport seems ridiculous to me. Someone's gonna' die.
I found it to be just as durable and good-looking as the previous sand I had previously purchased. There's something tan about it, almost The sand I used was filling up a plastic bowl for macaroni that comes out of the easy cooker, so I filled the bowl halfway with this sand and put it in the cage for my Syrian, who immediately loved Digging around in it and rolling around in it was his favorite activity. As important as it was to keep him clean, it didn't adhere to his fur at all. It took him a bit to get used to it, even though he did start using the bathroom there. Despite the fact that it does clump up and I had a little scoop to clean it easily, imagine what it would be like if one were to use it for reptiles. I would dump the sand every two weeks and scoop and add a little each time. During that time, I spent about five months on it. The hamster loves it, so I'll keep buying it for her! Hammersters prefer this kind of sand because it is so much less dusty than chinchilla sand. I had to get him a little litter pan, so he doesn't have to use the sand to do his business (I have since gotten him a litter pan for his cage).
Hamster loves it! I bought this for him. It's a huge hit with her! The potty corner is her favorite place to dig.
Sand with a tan color that is fine, soft, and very fine. In an aquatic setup, I wanted to use fine sand to give a soft shell baby turtle a comfortable place to lay. In going through the Zoo Med web site, I noticed that this is the only sand that can be used in aquatic set ups, so I placed an order for There are actually some sources that recommend it for softshell After rinsing it about five times in water (dividing one bag into four bowls), I put the hot water in a kitchen sink. The water appeared clear, but after adding it to the tank with fresh water, it got murky, and stayed murky even after two days. I did not rinse it enough, as it remained murky after several days. This will need to be rinsed better, so I'll have to take it all out again. Although, the turtle absolutely adores it and he can be seen burying himself in it or simply dancing on top of There are his prints etched into the sand. He seems happy so it's a good buy.
