Create a comfortable bedding area with Norfolk Pastures Barley Straw XL. The 5kg pack contains soft golden barley straw, with dust extraction stated on the packaging.

Use and storage

Check the straw before use and remove any unsuitable pieces. Provide a suitable absorbent base where needed, check bedding daily and promptly remove wet or soiled material. Replace bedding regularly and store the remaining straw in a dry, ventilated place away from moisture. Do not use material that is damp, mouldy or has an unusual smell. Choose bedding appropriate to your pet's species and individual needs.

Frequently asked questions

How much is supplied?
This XL pack is labelled 5kg.

Is it dust-free?
The pack states dust extracted. This means dust reduction, not a guarantee of zero dust.

Can I use it as rabbit bedding?
It can be used as bedding or nesting material in an appropriate rabbit setup. Keep it clean and dry, and provide an absorbent base where needed.

Does it replace feeding hay?
No. Straw is bedding material and does not replace the separate feeding hay required by rabbits and guinea pigs.

Is it guaranteed not to irritate eyes?
No such guarantee is made here. Check the bedding for coarse or unsuitable pieces and seek veterinary advice if your pet develops irritation.

How often should I change it?
Check daily, remove wet or soiled straw promptly and replace bedding regularly. Frequency depends on your pet and enclosure.
