Calci-Sand

Posted by Jen on December 19, 2000 at 14:58:11:

After reading a post yesterday about a sick tortoise and calci-sand I had to ask the question.... Why do the makers of this product advertise it as being good for reptiles when clearly it's not. The post had a number of individuals saying that their torts got impacted with this stuff... and I have first hand experience, my boyfriend's bearded dragon also got impacted and nearly died from the sand. So I guess my question is, don't the makers realize the detrimental affects that it can have on these poor creatures?
