What is the exact brand? It will depend on the ingredients. My issue with clay is that it tends to get mold very easily if damp... but if you mention the brand we can try to see what's in it and if anything in it is toxic. 


Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.

I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.

If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<

If it’s safe for kids, it’s fine for ants.
