Aspen shavings work well, and a substrate I like since I live in a dry area is "forest bedding", or essentially coconut husk that is the same consistency as dirt but smells better, is more sterile, and delightfully easy to spotclean and keep humid.



Oh, and the sand - play sand from home depot is sterile. It's meant to be used in sand boxes, so it has to be 'sterile' and free from chemicals because small children play in it.
