So, I'm just wondering, is beach sand ok for gerbils? I know that I have to sterilize it, but people all use children's play sand. I'm wondering if I can use sand from the beach instead, because the playsand comes in HUGE bags, and I really, really don't need that much. Like I said, I will sterilize it, but please tell me if beach sand is still ok, or if it's too fine, or whatever. THANK YOU!

Depending where your from it can be illegal to take sand from a beach. Personally I would not do it encase there is anything sharp in it.

Thank you! I know that some beaches won't allow it, but I know some that will. When I bring it back, I'm going to sift through the sand to make sure there aren't any sharp shells or anything.
