I'm never going to use children's Play Sand ever again because it is way too dusty and caused her one eye to crust shut.
I'm sure SOME childrens play sand works well for hamsters, but it's SO widely recommended and people don't talk about the effort needed for it. Reptisand/Exo Terra sand is safe for hamsters for as long as there is no added calcium or dyes, despite its red appearance.
