If you don't have silica gel bags, buy for example Lamna Kristall sand ( <a href="http://www.pet-food.se/informationsarkiv/ny-design-paa-lamina-kristallsand.aspx?sa=X&ved=0CBoQ9QEwAWoVChMI_a7Cubj8xgIVzAYsCh0HNwVo" target="_blank">http://www.pet-food.se/informationsarkiv/ny-design-paa-lamina-kristallsand.aspx?sa=X&ved=0CBoQ9QEwAWoVChMI_a7Cubj8xgIVzAYsCh0HNwVo</a> ) or similar Crystal sand for the "pet".If you open the sand for the first time it should be dry. You can always dry it by putting it in an oven and regenerate it multiple times. Put the sand in a small bag you make of paper towel or textile.</blockquote>
