Ahh, I think I've finally clocked on: when I heard that you should sift the sand to clean it I assumed you had to take all of the sand out of the cage, of course I could just scoop the clumpy bits out with a smaller sieve. Doh! Thanks Ria.

The silly question I have now is how often I will need to clean whatever I put the sand in? Right now I can see that wee is soaking into the wood, if the sand was in a non-porous container would you rely on the sand soaking it all up and only wash the container occasionally? I have no idea how much a wee a hamster can produce.
