Dusty bathing sand?
So I opened up a new box of the tiny friends farm bathing sand and started pouring it in Tofus jar and then it looked like smoke was blowing out the top. I then looked in the jar and the box and theres quite a few sections of really fine dust looking stuff amongst the normal sized sand grains.
I was touching the dust type particles with my finger and my finger was left feeling dusty and had like a dusty whitish residue on it.
Obviously I'm concerned thats it will be too fine for a hamster and could cause problems.
Has anyone else had problems with tiny friends?
(pictures are bad because of lighting but they might help idk)

Re: Dusty bathing sand?
Yeah there have been quite a few reviews saying it’s dusty and almost chalky. To be honest I didn’t notice at first since the pieces were so coarse but having checked again recently I definitely agree. Ended up changing to a different sand.

Re: Dusty bathing sand?
I have to agree that I haven't been impressed with it since the change but (at least the batches I had) I would still consider it safe to use.
I've switched too, using up what I have left but mostly using Rodipet sand now.

I’ve switched to using playsand. I didn’t notice any dust last time I bought the Tiny Friends Farm sand but my hamsters were not impressed with it.

Re: Dusty bathing sand?
None of my hams seemed remotely bothered by the change in the sand, they didn't even seem to notice it was me that didn't like it!
