Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used to swear by this sand and recommend it to everyone! When I first opened the new packaging, I could tell that it was a different formula. It was a gray color instead of the typical light brown sand. When I poured it out, a bit of dust was in the air. I was worried about it but it wasn't TOO dusty so I thought it would be okay. After coming on here and looking at some of the reviews, I have seen many people say that their hamsters have DIED after using this sand for a VERY short amount of time. I immediately decided to stop using this and return in. Please do not use this with the new formula for hamsters. It is much more of a DUST now than a sand that it used to be. Dust is not suitable for hamsters as they do not have the flaps in their nostrils to prevent the dust from getting into their nose like chinchillas do.
