CalciSand and the like can cause impaction in your beardie. Ypu are taking a serious risk of you use it.

You're not gonna get any help I don't think. Most beardie owners and breeders are very strongly against the use of repti/ or calci sand. Dangerous to your beardie. Can cause impaction or death. Please discontinue using it.

Hopefully someone here can direct you to a link with more info about this horrible stuff and the risks involved.

If you want cheap sand, go to home depot and buy a bag of sifted and washed playsand. It is about 3 dollars for 50 pounds, and much healthier for your beardie. If you beardie is not an adult, he shouldn't be on any type of sand.
