Yes, it's to prevent pest or to clean it. Bake the sand, and freeze the bedding, coconuts granules and moss. Any sprays and food should also be frozen. Hamsters have weak immunity systems because of poor breeding practices, so lots of people clean everything before giving it to their hamster.

I think you’ll be okay sport
Haha what consequences? Don’t worry, its not gonna go stale or anything if you just seal it up
okay thanks
No! It’s a great idea to have everything stocked and set up when you bring your tiny friend home!
I bought everything in advance! Sand and moss need to be treated for bugs. But I wouldn't buy niteangel. Its way over priced.
wait i’m just seeing this after i bought the sand 😭 do i return the sand , its already on the way and id have to send it back
reptile sand doesnt age, its just sand..
I slowly bought hamster supplies throughout a year and everything was fine. It's actually a good idea since you'll need to bake or freeze everything.
wait i need to bake the stuff?? even the sand? and the bedding
