Hello, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Anything you bring from outdoors will carry a small risk of exposure to things like intestinal parasites, but overall these risks are very small and natural sand should be just fine to use. Heating it in the oven and then letting it cool is a great way to minimize risk.
