Clean white sand that works well for desert setups
This sand is fine, consistent, and has a nice clean white color that looks natural in a desert-style enclosure. It arrived dry and ready to use without any obvious debris mixed in. Looks great with natural rock and decor. The 20-pound bag is a practical size for setting up a full enclosure or topping off an existing one. Does what it says on the label and is good value for a reptile substrate.

Chinchillas love it
I use this for my chinchillas sand/ dust bath. As it is less fine so less risky for them to accidentally inhale and die

Some sand leaked out of tear in bag
This is the product I use and the price was good, which is why I decided to buy it on line. But one of the bags had a small tear and had leaked some sand out, so was a little messy when I opened the shipping package (the reason for the 4 stars). Was able to keep most of the sand but, even though the price is better, I'll be purchasing it locally from now on. If I couldn't find it locally for some reason, I would purchase again.

This sand is great for pets!
I used this sand for my hamster, Biscuit, and it worked perfectly for his sandbox. He loved using it for sand baths and would even hide his treats in it from time to time. The sand is incredibly soft—honestly, I’d roll around in it too if I could. He also tended to pee in one corner of the sandbox, and the sand clumps really well, making spot cleaning quick and easy. I originally bought the smaller bags, but got tired of constantly restocking, so I switched to the 20-lb bag instead. I highly recommend this sand—it helped control odors in the cage, kept my hamster clean, and provided great enrichment for him for over three years (he's dead now though and I have some sand left though so I have to figure out another way to use it).

My gerbils love it
Gerbil and hamster bath sand is waaaay too expensive. Chinchilla bath sand is too fine. Play sand needs to be cooked. Reptile sand almost always has calcium, or weird grain texture. Not this one!!! Calcium free (one of very very few I could find). Reasonably priced. Pet safe (eg no cooking or sanitizing necessary). Perfect grain size for not getting cuts while bathing nor inhalation. My gerbils love it. My last gerbil loved it, and so did his brother My new boys-Fred and George- were neglected by Petco. If they had been even mildly better situation i wouldnt have bought from pet store and wouldve adopted. They had never seen sand. They instantly loved it. They roll it it. Sit and eat dinner in it. Potty in it. Dig. Just have fun. I took out their sand bath for 24h a few days ago because im making them a new sand bath tub (the old one is cute but got sand on my floor) and they immediately showed textbook rodent stress behaviors, became much more skiddish, etc until i just caved and gave them the old one back (new bath tub is still in the works)- simply not having sand made them both panic. In other words- this is amazing sand. My only complaint: the gerbils kick it on my floor and I have permanent beach-bed

My Gerbils Love this
I actually use this for my gerbil sand bath. With gerbils it is highly not recommended that you use bathing powder because they can aspirate it and it can give them respiratory infections. So it's actually recommended that you use this naturally white colored rectus sand for their bath. So I switched out to the rectus sand for their bath and they absolutely love it. I'm changing it out every two days because they not only use it as their bath but they also use it as a bathroom. Which is fine. It is what it is. They're gerbils that's their natural thing to do. But I do highly recommend this for using it as gerbils sand bath.
