Hamster Sand - Chinchilla I bought it for my hamster from Amazon and used a little bit of it, and there's still a large amount left, more than half. Its price was 87, but I'm selling it for 40. The sand is clean and it's the best type of sand for hamsters, it doesn't cause them allergies or respiratory diseases, God willing. If the hamster learns to use it as a toilet, may God honor you, it will reduce the cage smell for you. Note: The box in the picture arrived with a hole, so I had to put it in a plastic container of my own.
