After zooplus run out of the sand I usually buy I thought I'd give this stuff a go, currently still at £7 for 5kg (+delivery) it's a good price too.
The first thing I noticed is that the sand (which actually came from an aquatics shop, I've forgotten the name), is noticeably coarser (and darker) than the zooplus chinchilla sand (not sure if that matters) and it seems to be slightly fragranced too, which I'm not keen on. Worse is that the sand contains quite a lot of dust (despite the ad saying 'dust free'!), I have to pour it from dish to dish a few times to get rid of it! So I'm not impressed with this sand and won't be buying it again.
Unfortunately I'm not sure if my boys enjoy it to bathe in or not as I've never seen them roll in any sand! Even when both dishes had the zooplus stuff (1 still does for now as they have stopped using that one as a toilet). They are very private as I almost never see them running on the wheel for example, if I turn round to look at them on it, they jump off! But I do hear them using it quite often. Anyway, my point is, they might be rolling in either sandbath, but I just never seen them doing it!

I still have most of the bag to get through, so hopefully I'll be able to update at a later point as to whether or not my boys bathe in it.
Thought I'd post what I've found of it so far anyway.
