 I've always wondered if there is any reason why one couldn't just use the
 aquarium gravel (natural, not colored) that is sold in most pet stores.  I
 believe it is also granitic in composition and it would certainly be more
 available than finding a feed store >>

Don,

Having worked at a pet store for a couple of years, I would bet that any
reputable owner would be happy to special order the grit in for you. It comes
from the same distributors of the dog foods, in most cases.
