Pillow Wad Barley Straw is a soft, natural bedding straw for rabbits and small animals, harvested during the British summer using traditional farming methods.
Barley straw is one of the softer types of straw, making it a comfortable choice for creating warm, cosy sleeping and nesting areas. Pillow Wad leaves the straw unchopped, while carefully sieving and dust extracting it to produce a clean, high-quality bedding material.
The straw can also provide natural enrichment, giving rabbits and other small animals something to burrow, forage and explore.
Composition
100% Barley Straw.
Pet Type
Suitable for rabbits, guinea pigs and other appropriate small animals as bedding and enrichment material.
How to Use
Use generously to create a warm, comfortable bedding area.
Replace wet or soiled straw regularly and completely clean the sleeping area as required.
For rabbits and guinea pigs, straw should not replace feeding hay. Always provide a separate unlimited supply of suitable fresh feeding hay alongside bedding.
Store in a cool, dry place.
