Is this sand safe?
What with the Tiny Friends farm not being safe anymore, I don´t want my hamster to get anything wrong so, is this sand safe?

Its one of the only ones I have I can buy, it says its "bathing sand" but STILL. Opinions? I´m sorry for posting so many questions. thanks for reading

It says clay so I wouldn't use it.

OML, i had not noticed that! I´m so glad I did not use it or buy it, do you have any good sand recommendations?

Re: Is this sand safe?
I have no idea what would be available to you where you are tbh, if you can get children's play sand you could use that, it just needs drying out in the oven before use, if there are any other brands you can link to I'd be happy to have a look although it's not easy to know how good a sand is without actually seeing it, some are more dusty than others.

Re: Is this sand safe?
Playsand might be your best bet, most chinchilla sands in the US tend to be very dusty so it’s probably the same where you are too.

Im from Mexico, so its a job to find ham safe things or ham things in general, cages? DIY it, bedding? Order it from Amazon, or go to Petco (which only exists in my city, so if you happen to live somewhere else in Mexico, good luck pal) Toys? Amazon, Petco. Wheel? Amazon. I don´t have a bath sand because of that and I just saved enough for the tiny friends farm which was (36 dollars for me plus shipping) and turned out to be unsafe so I just did not buy it.
I´ll try and get play sand and will try and see any other brands which could do and link em. Thanks

Thanks! I´ll look into that as well, any type of playsand is safe?

Re: Is this sand safe?
Children’s playsand that has been washed & cleaned beforehand and is non toxic. If you do get that put a bit out to dry as it’ll come damp.
