Shorefields Wheat Straw Full Bale - Animal Bedding for Horses, Rabbits, Guinea Pig - Low Dust Full Hay Bale - Comfortable & Soft Bedding for Pets

UPDATE. Have now bought another bale. The straw is still excellent quality and does not sour when stored. I’ve upgraded to 5 stars as this batch did not contain heavy rocks and represents far better value for money now.Good Points. Arrived next day. We live in the country and it has been a difficult year for harvesting so my local farm supply shop were out of straw bales when I needed to buy one. Good quality straw (long cut and no sour odour).Downside. The bale does have some very large rocks in (never had this before) so will affect weight to cost ratio hence 4 star not 5.

So you could get bales like this for more like 5 quid if you can find a local farm who's willing, but it's hard to source where i am, i don't think they're ripping us off though, it's just the logistics and time of packaging such a large item.i bought it too mulch large areas, grow potatoes under it, and give my compost heap a boost at the end of the seasonjust be aware it does have a large amount of seed (or at-least the batches i had), but the straw is very easy to pick out as it grows and at-least in months feb-now late April, slow growing, only about now is it starting to make rootsit's otherwise very clean, nice smelling, beautiful material (when dry), i think I'll re-think the idea of using it as a mulch for paths etc at this price and move to wood chip if i can source itthat said, i see this as a benefit, i will likely order another bale or two too cover my beds in the autumn and have the benefit of both a cover crop and a mulch too keep the beds subdued till the spring. also if you keep chickens they'll the extra things too munch onall that said it's the best value i can find on amazon for this type of material

I'm very happy with the bale. It was well packed and arrived quickly. I used it as bedding for my dogs kennels and my chickens. Excellent product. My animals love it.

Quick delivery. Arrived in a cardboard box, ideal for using as much or as little of the bale as you need,and just leaving the rest in the box. Straw was dry, no mould, no sprouting, no dust. Not cheap but worth it.

The media could not be loaded. Good value for money, but did contain some large rocks (see video & photo) although I have so far only unpacked about 1/5th of the bale so far so don’t know how many more I may find. Nice long strands, great for animal bedding or crafting. Nice and dry, with a natural smell. Despite the rocks, I would recommend for those that keep or breed animals.

Great value amazing will be buying more

Exellent , just what I need for my allotment! Delivered in big box . Easy and light to handle.

AVOID like the plague!!! I bought this for my beloved bunnies and one sadly passed she was a happy healthy bunny till I bought this bedding for them, luckily I’ve removed it all and bought some new better hay which was very expensive but worth it and my other bunny seems to have perked up now
