Re: Sand Baths?
Do not use hermit crab sand, reptile sand, or anything similar. They're not considered truly safe, and some are very unsafe!
The cheapest option in the USA is to just go to Home Depot and buy a huge bag of children's play sand(should be just the natural version)and then bake it and sift it. For some perspective on how long this may last you, these bags tend to be at most $5 plus tax(can't remember exact price but it works out ridiculously cheap compared to anything you could buy in a pet store with questionable at best safety)and they're usually 50 pound bags, so if you manage to go through that in two months with just one hamster I'd be pretty shocked!
