Re: DIY cage - safety and tips
Baking play sand is very important no matter what packaging says(sterilized etc), along with rinsing and sifting. Bugs can and will get into even "sealed" packaging - something I've had to learn the hard way!
That being said, the processes are entirely worth it(and yes necessary for hamster safety) when you consider how cheap play sand can be along with the ability to just process bulk amounts all at once if possible to avoid having to frequently bake, sift, and rinse.
