I read before they say if the hamster keep using the sand bath it can cause the fur to dry up. I never had this experience before though, if you notice fur starting to dry up then might want to limit the amount of time you let your hamster play with the sand bath. Otherwise it should be fine, sand bath can never be "not good" for hamsters.
Probably the shop owner want to clear off their odorless spray so telling you to buy that instead.
As for the wheel, yeah 6.5" is best...those sanko brand is very good & super silent. Expensive but quality stuff is never cheap anyways. Those wheels that comes free when you buy hamster cages you can throw it away, its garbage. Bought hamster cage before, too small & its so hard to use because of the wheel resistance. My hamster never used his wheel until I change to sanko wheel & the next day I saw him running on it already.
As discussed previously, thats what you get for using metal bar cages. Change to those storage box as cages or 2ft plastic aquarium as their cage & the biting will stop. You will be able to sleep peacefully & keep your hamster "safe" in your room while sleeping

Those storage box, toyogo brand(forgot the brand name) cost like ~rm30 only whereas plastic aquarium only rm50

Nah the sand should be fine la. My girl's fur is still very smoooooth~ But will continue to monitor any changes.
Storage box RM30??? I bought mine about 2ft x 1.5ft for RM70!! And it's somemore from Tesco D:

Awww she's so cute! Haha the wheel noise doesn't bother me much, it's mostly the cage biting x.x It's so bad that I move him to the study room at night before I sleep. That way the noise won't wake me up.
Thanks!

And yes as infernoaswen said, storage box or aquarium is the best. I pity my parents last time as their bedroom window was just next to the balcony when I use to use metal bar cages hahaha.
Anyways if you're interested in storage box I would be willing to sell mine. Her playground's quite abandoned :/
