This is a question more than a concern. I've had a few of Pristurus carteri for some months and I notice that the bulk of their fecal matter is sand. It doesn't seem to affect them, though. I am using a fine grade quartz sand (one of those pet store brands). I moved to gravel once in hope this would change but they eat that to, which DID concern me. I changed it back to sand.
They have regular calcium available in a dish (Rep-cal) and they have UV light. Has anyone experienced this? I've just started giving females liquid calcium with an eye dropper to curb this habit, just in case, but I have a feeling this will cause more harm in the long run. Maybe this isn't even a problem and it's normal. It sure doesn't sound normal. Maybe the next step is to have a sand bowl for eggs and a paper towl bedding.
