Those of us on reptile forums have been made very aware, whether directly or indirectly, how dangerous Calcium Sand is to reptiles. Given the cases we've seen where beardies have consumed the sand to the point of death, has there ever been a push to inform these manufacturers of the hazards of their product? This would most likely require evidence in the form of necropsy data from vet clinics. Perhaps if there was a repository that could be linked to, we could use it to try and get cal sand (or just sand period) pulled from shelves.
If there is one thing companies don't like, it's bad publicity. If their product is shown to cause death or injury to animals, it means people will stop purchasing their products. Perhaps this will encourage them to find something else non harmful for reptiles to be housed on.
