Default Re: Dusty Argos play sand?

Thanks for the detailed replies Serendipity!

I actually found Tiny Friends Farm to be even dustier than the Argos sand... Even pouring a small amount would raise quite a thick cloud, which was one of the reasons I've decided to move away from it after all. But for all I know this might just be down to different batches or something.

I've seen other people share emails they received after they'd written to them - supreme say it's still sepiolate, and insist they've never changed the formula.

There's a youtube video by TheSmallPetShop called "Is Tiny Friends Farm bathing sand Safe?" which highlights some of the issues and criticisms which have come up recently, if you'd like to have a look!

Again, I don't know how much of a cause for concern any of this presents, but I've seen enough warnings from different sources to err on the side of caution...

Hahaha, I was actually considering going for either Rodipet or Argos, as they were both highly recommended... Good to know I can't win no matter what
