Sand

rosshan · 11-02-2011, 09:42 AM

I can get hold of any play sand, all the argos' are out of stock. Does anyone know off a online shop that sells it?

I need to do a suby change it's like a dust bowl in my table.

Otherwise what's the alternative?

Cheers

It wouldn't hurt just to have topsoil until you are able to get some playsand.

Some keepers stick to just topsoil anyway if they feel that the sand is irritating their tort's eyes

Childrens toy shops sell playsand. I got some at Conways Toystore.
But to be honest I don't use it any more and just use soil.

I couldn't find any sand several weeks ago either, Argos, ELC and Tesco had none Perhaps B&Q or Homebase may have it?
