Is this sand dust free? I’m considering buying it for my dwarf hamster. I see in the reviews two others said it was great for their hamsters too, but I’d like to make sure it is dust free.

Good hamster sand bath

Hamsters need access to sand to remove snd distribute the oils in their fur, being desert animals. This brand is coarser than niteangel but I feel niteangel does a slightly better job. Just using this to top off the niteangel sand since it's cheaper. Natural quartz sand. Never let me down.

My go to for ham sandwich

By ham sandwich I mean my hamster. She loves this stuff to use as a bath and a bathroom. Two separate containers. I recommend getting the large bag to last awhile.

Watch out for splinters

The soil has like mulch pieces in it or something. When I put it in my lizards tanks I got splinters so I went through and tried to get all the pieces out of the soil before putting it in their tanks. They both seem unhappy, and it has been about a month since I put it in there. I thought they needed to adjust but I think they truly just dont like it. On top of that, my leopard gecko got what I believe to be a splinter in his eye. I'm taking him to the vet soon.

Best sand ever

Super affordable and non irritating . I change my hamsters sand box 1-2 times a week and a 10 pound bag lasts us a month maybe longer

Excellent sand

So far this is the best sand for hamsters my baby loves it. We changed her bath every other day for her to have a place clean and ready to dig.

For hamster

I bought this sand for my hamster. It is absorbent and no dust. Gunther seems to like it. He is really good about using his sand box to potty in. It is a great value for the price.

It’s sand

Love having sand in my 2 bearded dragons tank instead of dirty & they like it better to. Also easy for me to keep clean.
