Someone needs to calm down and take a deep breath...

Hun, do you realize how rude you just were? I would suggest reading your post over, from someone else's standpoint, and see how it really came across. If you think someone isn't keeping their animal correctly, do not get in their face about it. That's just a guarantee that they won't listen to you. Instead, calmly give them some suggestions of other things they could possibly use that "might" be better. So, next time, instead of beating the person down with rude words, try calmly looking at the situation, and HELP them. Help is the key word, no beating here

Brad, nothing is wrong with sand, you just have to watch and make sure they don't get a face-full everytime they eat. Mine are on indoor/outdoor carpet, but I was thinking of getting some playsand, just so they wouldn't get their little toes caught it the carpet all the time. I mean, geez, I think we all ate sand when we were little, and everything else, and we are ok, no impactions here. If you think they may get an impaction, a little mineral oil does the trick.
