    Well I use the same stuff in my GTP's cage and it is really fine so how much could there really be in there? I guess I just can't imagine it. Try to brush it off and if you can't, I doubt it will be a major issue.
    My Daughters name all the animals...

    0.1 BP - Normal (Seviper)
    0.1 RTB - Normal BCI (Ekans)
    0.0.1 GTP - Merauke (Carnivine)
    0.1 RTB - Suriname BCC (Sand Ma'am...a.k.a. Sandy)
    0.1 RTB - Anery BCI (Onix)
