Zoo Med ReptiSand®, 10 Pounds, Desert White | Natural, For Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos & Desert Species, Chemical-Free, Ideal for Digging, Burrowing & Egg Laying

We use this sand to fill several different sized containers in two different habitats for our beloved dwarf hamster. We also used it with our previous dwarf hamster (sadly, they have very short lifespans).They love to roll in the sand, and apparently it helps clean the fur. The sand never sticks to the fur, and it does not make any dust that we can see when they roll in it. It is endlessly entertaining to watch them roll, and our friends love to see videos of it.Sometimes the hamsters will use one of the sand containers as a litter box, and the sand is very absorbent and makes clumps.The sand is always very fine, consistent and pure. We have never seen any irregular sized or discolored grains. Zoo Med seems to have excellent quality control.I think the "Desert White" name for the color is a bit misleading. It is really more of a light tan than a white. But regardless, it is a neutral, light shade that hides stains and does not get yellow, unlike the white small animal soft bedding that we use throughout the main enclosure.I would not use or recommend "playground", "sandbox", landscaping sand or any kind of sand available at big-box hardware stores or garden centers, or beach sand, for hamsters. It could have contaminants, mites, dust etc.We are totally satisfied with Reptisand, and even though it seems to be marketed strictly to reptile owners, we highly recommend it for hamsters based on our own experiences. Perhaps the manufacturer should change the name or add some reference or graphic on the bag about hamsters - "Repti/HamSand" maybe?

Works really well for hamsters in their sand baths. My dwarf hamster loves this sand!

Keeps my gerbil's fur shiny, soft, and healthy!

I love this sand for my gerbil sand boxes and they love it too. Nice consistency. Clots well. 10 lb bags are nice for lasting longer. More affordable than sands made specifically for hamsters and gerbils.

Absolutely love it. Put it in the sand bath container and my daughter's hamster immediately went in and started playing and digging in this sand. Came a little later than expected but was so worth it for a great quality product. Size and weight are perfect. This bag will definitely last a very long time.

Great sand for lizards the only down side is that one of the bags was ripped when we got it. Also we have to use multiple bags for our tank.

WHEN our hamster Porky decides to go potty in his sandbox this reptisand works GREAT! He does love to clean himself in there a lot, though. But going potty is another story. He changes where his favorite spots to go are very frequently. But this stuff hides the smell and is easy to clean because it clumps together well, and looks great!

This is great sand that my hamsters love to roll and pee in. There is no dust other than the usual is you pour it from a high enough height it'll cause a little bit of dust which is normal for any sand. For the price and amount you get I definitely recommend it.

I am using this brand for the first time, it was clean and super fine dust with no impuritiesRecommended

Acquistata sotto consiglio per il mio criceto siriano, la adora.

Muy buen producto
