This is an important distinction: Wheat Straw is known to have sharper, more brittle stalks that can cause injuries and eye infections in small animals. Barley Straw, by contrast, has a softer, gentler texture that makes it far safer and more comfortable for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other small pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvested at peak dryness when the straw is at its most golden, it is stored carefully in dry barns to preserve quality. The straw is left in longer strands to encourage natural burrowing behaviour, giving your pet the stimulating, instinct-driven environment they need to thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Barley Straw — softer and safer than Wheat Straw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden colour with soft, gentle stalks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces risk of eye injuries and infections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft in longer strands for natural burrowing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvested at peak dryness and barn-stored for freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other small animals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXL pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wag n Tails Pet Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53623066853712,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0410\/8517\/3912\/files\/norfolkstraw.webp?v=1789585714","url":"https:\/\/wagntailspetshop.ie\/products\/norfolk-pastures-xl-straw","provider":"Wag n Tails Pet Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
