Does anybody know of any good alternatives to sand? My dwarf hamster has started reacting badly to her sand (it's causing eye irritation, even though she's used it for about a year without problems. I think it might be age related). We took her sand off her but she's missing it a lot so I'd like to give her something relatively similar to it. I've heard some people say loose coconut fibres are good, but I don't know how reliable that is and i'm not even sure where to find coconut fibres! Any suggestions would be great.
