I want to give my Beardie the opportunity to dig!
Considering it is $7/kg here and $1.50/kg on www.strictlyreptiles.com.au, But I don't need 20kg I was wondering whether anyone had some spar unused sand that they would sell to me for cheap?
I only want mayb 5-10kg
And how much will postage be?

by the time you pay postage on sand (which isnt cheap) you'd be better off buying a small bag from a local pet shop  |

Do you think I could get 10KG+post for $25?

$30 for 10KG, a little more than I was hoping, but I might buy some from you...
I'll think about it.
Thanks.

I thought the same thing and I put some red sand in 5 days ago. Up until then they had never had sand.
I have spent most of tonight with warm baths, syringes of warm juice and massages to save my beardie from major impaction and possible death.  I have had him pass a little bit of hard poo but not much.
Once again, I say DON'T DO IT!

Really? But thats what they have naturally? Doesn't a gravid beardie need to burrow to lay eggs? I am thinking of breeding them.

Do you come down to adelaide/smithfield at all?
I use a very naturalsusbrate for my beardies, which kinda looks like chunky bark litter. but much more 'bush' looking. I buy it from the smithfied pet and fodder store, they only place i know that stocks it. it only costs me $10 for approx 3 shopping bags full of the stuff. (it comes in one big clear bag, but i don't know the weight) which is enough to do my beadie tank twice.
Mine love to dig around in it and love it as a substrate. also it doen't cause impactions  , but is natural looking and makes my beardies feel at home.
Will try to get pic of it tonight.
