dust the bugs in calcium dust.

sand can cause impaction so it again is one of those decisions that you , as the owner, have to make... whether to keep it or get rid.

when we got mrs T she was on sand - but i binned it all because it was filthy and i just put down brown paper which i still use now. I did buy her some sand recently but put it in a tray in the corner in case she fancyed digging or whatever but to be honest dont think she is bothered !!!Once you know where they like to poop just pop a square of kitchen towel there because they go in the same place - so just remove and replace when they are done !i just sprinkle food with nutrobal !
