Unfortunately the Tiny Friends sand isn’t safe anymore It’s now dustier and clay based and has caused respiratory issues and fatal blockages in a lot of hamsters.

Kids playsand really is better tbh. i use Argos playsand and although it’s more expensive upfront, £5 for 15kg is much better value than £3 for 1kg. It would cost £45 in TF sand to get the same amount that you can get for £5 at argos (or basically any supermarket or toy store now its gwtting warmer).
