Another ?

Ok. Sani-Wash for everything in the dishwasher!! Yes, I really was impressed with Hermit Crab Patch! So helpful & patient! Godzilla is definitely happy with her new Kibble! We ordered a few different things and so far she is happy with everything. When we feed her, she is usually sitting in the food dish for a few hours. I was looking at Sand ?'s from a couple of days ago. Saw the information about different sands. I'm using Quickrete Premium Play Sand. However, Quickrete also makes an All Purpose Sand. Tried to see bag under Lowe's but it wouldn't go larger. It looks as if it states that it has been washed. Is this better than the play sand? Would it be courser? Or is the Play Sand ok to use? Another set of questions! Haven't tried the chicken wing yet. Have a great night & take care.

The playsand is fine, but I believe some recommend the all purpose sand over the play.

:) Thank you for the replies! I appreciate the input! Wasn't sure if the regular sand would hurt a hermie or not. Thank you. So far, so good. Tank is good, Godzilla is eating his goodies. We're all happy here! Thank you again and have a great evening! :blob7:
