Re: Settled in
In the US we have Small Pet Select and Oxbow Pure Comfort for substrate made from actual virgin fiber paper, rather than cellulose pulp(Carefresh, very common for hamsters to have allergic reactions to that even if they don't happen right away and it tends to be extremely dusty) or recycled paper(Kaytee Clean and Cozy, which frequently has dusty batches, hard pieces, etc).
In the long run I would strongly advise switching over to children's play sand rather than continuing to use reptile sand of any kind. It's a far better economic value and while you do have to rinse, sift, and bake play sand it is completely worth it when you consider how much more sand you end up getting for far less than you'd pay for reptile sand.
