## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use this for my female calico hamster? She hates dust and i cant seem to be able to find any hamster sand but a user recommend this.**
A: Hey! Calico hamsters do exist! They are also called tortishell Syrian. It is a sex linked trait so only females are calico. As for using the sand, my understanding is yes; they can use it.

**Q: I heard this sand can be used for Hamsters to bathe themselves in. I have a syrian hamster would I be able to use this?**
A: Yes, I've been using it for 6 months for my robo hamsters and they love it.

**Q: Does this have to be baked first before use in hamster cage?**
A: No. I just put it in the bowl. But it’s up to you. The hamsters just roll right in it.

**Q: What product would you recommend for bleached white sand? many reviewers have commented on the color of this product not being white as pictured.**
A: Yes it is true this is more of a pinkish, super light tan color, but I have heard that sifted playsand/sandbox sand works just as great. Sandbox sand comes in white, and is non-toxic since it's for children. And that stuff is bright white! Just remember that if using sand for any reptile, it shouldn't be used as the only substrate, since most reptiles don't live on sand directly, but more of a flat clay mixture. I just used mine as a slight dusting on my tile for my bearded dragon so cleanup was easier. It's worked wonders!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Safe for hamsters
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 October 2026*

This sand is perfect for my hamsters. You get a lot of it for the amount you pay and it’s good value for money. This sand is safe for hamsters and makes their fur clean and super soft too. It really easy to clean, I just sift through it every day and change the sand every so often. It’s like the same colour as beach sand and doesn’t have a big chunks or anything in it so you know it’s safe for hamsters. It’s also not dusty at all so it won’t irritate your hamster or cause them any breathing issues. The hamsters love it so much, definitely going to repurchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality – perfect for mixing!
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 25 February 2026*

Really impressed with this reptile sand. The texture is clean and fine without being dusty, and it mixed perfectly with coco soil to create a great substrate for my snake. It holds structure well while still allowing for natural burrowing, and it looks much more natural in the enclosure too.No strong smells, no clumping issues, and good value for the amount you get. I’ll definitely be purchasing again! 🐍

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hamster loves it
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 October 2021*

My Syrian hamster loves this for digging in her sand bath! It’s fine but not dusty and is a soft white desert sand colour and contains no calcium. Only downside is that it picks up odours quickly, and if the bath also gets used as a toilet it becomes very smelly compared to regular wood shaving substrate and is harder to clean as any clumps break up easily. However when only used as a bath her fur is lovely and clean, and so soft. So am currently only putting in for play in evenings and removing when unattended, which works fine as she loves digging in it so much but doesn’t get too many chances to use it for toileting. The bag’s also great value for money. I’d never be without a sand bath for my hammy now!
