Yes I read the other thread about the sand. I think you did right to take it out. Sand isn't really necessary. Usually people give a sand bath, but not all hamsters even like sand baths. I'd stick with the substrate you've been using on the base of the cage for now. Even a different substrate can cause an allergy (sorry can't remember what you have in the cage - was it Carefresh or shavings?)
