Flamey wouldn't be without his sand. He's used this ever since I've had him. He loves to roll around in the sand and it keeps his fur soft and clean. He also loves to eat in his sand, so I'll often find him just sat in there munching whatever snacks he's found around his cage.
Is this sand hamster safe?
Yes. I personally hand bake the sand myself at a high temperature in small batches to ensure that it is dry and clean. I then hand sieve each batch to remove any coarse lumps. What's left is beautifully soft and dry fine sand which is stored in sealed containers until it's bagged up for you and your hamster. Because it's been baked at a high temperature for over an hour it's safe to use out of the bag without the need for baking or freezing.
The sand does not contain any calcium, dyes, chemicals or additives.
