It's a mix of kaytee clean and cosy and carefresh with some dried herbs mixed in. Oh also use catoilet which is a cat litter but it's just 100% paper pellets like back 2 nature so safe for rodents too

Yes it's sand. I think it was the tiny farm friends sand. You can get it in pets at home for £3. It's actually a whole 1kg tub in there. It's a chinchilla bath so it's plenty big enough for a 2 inch long roborovski hamster lol originally it used a sandwich box though. He toilets on his wheel so any poop gets flung into the sand so I use a little sieve/ tea strainer to get any soiled bits.

To answer the question of how long to leave between clean outs. I haven't 'cleaned out' Niko for a month. Spot clean every 2-3 days and replace little bits as I need. Never do a full clean out.
