Barley Straw is a great option for providing your animal dry bedding.
-
Absorbency: Barley straw is highly absorbent, helping to keep the animal's living space clean and dry. It can easily absorb urine and other liquid waste, making the enclosure easier to clean and maintaining a healthier environment.
-
Comfort: The straw is soft and cozy, providing a comfortable area for small animals to rest, sleep, or nest. It can also be rearranged by the animals to fit their individual preferences, allowing them to burrow and make their space their own.
-
Insulation: Barley straw provides good insulation properties. It helps to keep the bedding area warm during colder periods, and maintains a relatively cool temperature in hotter climates, ensuring the animals are comfortable throughout the year.
-
Digestible: While it is not meant to be a food source, barley straw is generally safe for animals to nibble on.
-
Odor Control: The straw has natural odor-control properties. It can mask unpleasant smells from waste, keeping the enclosure fresher for longer.
-
Environmental Impact: Barley straw is a sustainable and biodegradable material, making it an eco-friendly choice for bedding. After use, it can be composted and returned to the environment, reducing landfill waste.
