Review: Perfect - Brilliant clean and dry sand, I used it to fill a one section wing chun sand bad. Perfect 👌
Review: Sandy - I have bought this sand several times now for substrate mixes. As long as its available I will continue to use it, it is ideal and as it says - basic, but what more do you want from sand? The pack size is ideal for me as I don't have a bulky bag laying around for when i next need it and have not found any other sand at this reasonable price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent for Hamsters
*by R***N on 23 July 2025*

Works well for my hamster's sand bath. The first bag I got the sand wasn't as clean and pure as other brands, but was still usable. The quality of the sand has been better in subsequent bags. My hamster loves to dig and poop in the sand, or just lie on it to keep cool. Far better than many sands that are marketed for hamsters, which can be too dusty or contain artificial dyes or have calcium added - all of which aren't good for hamsters.
