Yes a very good point becks. I have a few bags left over so i'm ok and of course I can use hemp too, but for tropical tort owners a stock would be a good idea.

oolix · 12-11-2006, 06:34 PM

argos have plenty of playsand in stock

nina · 12-11-2006, 06:36 PM

Good point. I've always got my playsand from a local garden centre, and I never thought they might not stock it in winter - I'd better check.

hi becks

great advice i have already got my reserves in

any idea when it becomes readily available again

Henry-flash · 12-11-2006, 06:37 PM

I expect it comes in again when it starts getting warmer. Spring/summer time.

I don't use playsand for redfoots just top soil .

Thanks for the warning though Pete

I have found that the sand being very grainy based gets in the large eyes of redfoots and causes irritation.
