Chinchilla sand

Mindy on October 9th 2010, 12:12 am

I want to get Dave some Chinchilla sand and a box to put it in. What do you guys recommend? Where's the cheapest/best sand from and what kind of box do you use?
I've seen some nice Chinchilla ones but think the entrance is too hard to get into for a heggie.

Thanks

I'm going to go and get Butternut some today. I don't know how she will like it though she is so fussy.

Like AA, I also have a kitten litter tray with chin sand in Oz's playpen . . . far to messy for in his cage! lau

Oz has only had it for a few days though, so isn't too sure of it (or his playpen actually) but I'm hoping he'll like it once he gets used to it. big smile

I tried the sand last night and Butternut wasn't interested at all. I kept putting her in the tray and she kept climbing out. tongue

I tried again tonight the same thing!!!! I guess I'll keep trying everynight any suggestions?

I bought Rose some a while ago, she did the same, climbed out each time I put her in, it looked as though she knew she SHOULD be doing something, but couldn't figure out what! roll
