Komodo natural sand availability

[Magpie]

Anyone else suddenly unable to find Komodo natural sand on Amazon?!

I had it saved in my basket for later and it’s disappeared now?!

I can find it on Vivo vet but will be charged postage which is frustrating.

Yes it seems to have disappeared from Amazon, I found that yesterday. Assume there is a supply problem. It's annoying as yes Viovet charge postage. Reptisand is still in stock on Amazon and in our storefront if that helps It's sold out at Hopes Healthy Treats as well so assume it's a supply issue. Can't believe there would be a shortage of sand so it must be shipping supply issues!

Niteangel sand seems to be out of stock at Amazon as well.

This would be a safe alternative wouldn’t it? I think if I buy via your link it benefits the forum Is that right @Maz?

That’s what I was wondering too as I looked at HHT as was going to order sand and some more mixerama but that’s out of stock too. Seems to have been for a while.

Will check the storefront and just order an alternate rather than go via vivovet.

Thanks Maz

Yes it's fine If that one isn't the storefront, just using the search box within the storefront to find another sand, is the same thing as it's still one of our links if it's via the storefront

Wundapets on ebay are selling the Natural sand, but minimum 2 bags which makes it more expensive.

Yes it's fine

I’ve just seen that this has already been posted about! (Sorry for the duplication) never thought I’d be so invested in sand

No worries did you see the ebay link? Might be no good if it's only two bags anyway.

Still Never see him anymore but I can see he’s been busy every night so can only assume he’s ok!

I Saw him briefly one early morning last week- he was getting a drink and collecting up some food so I just quietly watched him and left him to it. Didn’t want to chance scaring him away from the water.

It sounds like he is enjoying his enclosure anyway, even if a bit shy. Maybe it's not too late to start some gradual taming and him build confidence with humans?

He’s busy and active but only after we’ve gone to bed and usually back in his burrow by the time I’m up in the morning.

He’s always been VERY late in coming out and about and I just can’t stay up waiting for him until 1or 2 am these days. I did before (for a long time because I was either trying to get him to take antibiotics or check on his wound after all his surgeries!) but it was exhausting and now I’ve got to factor in getting the dog walked before work as well so I have to go to bed earlier.

He seems happy enough… but it would
Be nice to see a bit more of him again.

It's difficult isn't it. What time do you feed him?

Usually in the evening 8/9pm but it makes no difference. I can put out a tasty treat- fruit/veg, even strong smelling treats like a bit of boiled egg/chicken and he still doesn’t break cover until 1-2am!

Maybe next time he has a partial cage clean you could have him out in a playpen while you do it and he might get more confident and time for a stroke
