Trudi, isn't chinchilla sand too fine for hamsters? You know you can get childrens play sand from any hardware store for much cheaper too. And don't believe that bullshit about having to sterilize it. I used unsterilized play sand for 3 years with Kahlua without any issues.
I did cheat once when I ran out of sand and the stores were out - I went to the beach, scooped up a bucket full and sterilized that and used it! Worked a treat. All I had to do was sift it some for the larger rocks.
