Bathing Sand?

[isimatosbe]

Hi, I'm Isidro, this is my first post .
I am planning on addopting a hamster, here in Spain, so I'm trying to set everything up, but I am struggling with the Bath Sand. The Chinchilla's one is really expensive, I have read that child's play sand or reptil one should work. I have found this too options, they are both reptils one (I hadn't found cheap child's play sand), but I don't know if they are okey:

- https://www.amazon.es/Arena-básica-p...pplies&sr=1-20 - This is Trixie Bassisand

Thank you all in advance.

Hi & welcome to the forum.
I wouldn't use reptile sand, if you can't get good chinchilla sand at a reasonable price then I would go for children's play sand, it should be fine, it is usually damp so needs drying out in the oven for a while.

I used the Reptisand Desert White and when I put it in my hamsters cage she spent like 2 hours playing in it! I haven't used the other types but I would highly recommend it.

Children's play sand should be completely fine! The only reason I'm using chinchilla sand right now is because I couldn't get my hands on playsand during the pandemic.
