100 Percent Natural Wheat Straw (12 lbs.)

It's fresh, clean straw, all natural & no chemicals. Smells wonderful. Not chopped into tiny bits or dust. Great bedding for the huts I made for the feral/stray cats roaming my neighborhood. Thank you, Thunder Acres.

I believe this is my third year ordering and I’ll keep coming back! I use it as bedding in an insulated house for the not so feral anymore cats that have stolen my heart. It’s very clean straw that’s nice to work with. I love the fact that’s organic, very little (if any) dust, and it’s not chopped. Shipped fast and secure. Perfect!

I'm reviewing this from the point of view of using it as outdoor pet bedding. I manage the cats for my condo complex and have several shelters for them.Pros--Straw is long and best for bedding.--Cheaper than another company that sells theirs specifically for outdoor cat bedding.--Actually good for pet bedding unlike many other sellers who misrepresent theirs.Cons--Straw was dusty/dirty enough where I had to put on a dust mask since I was close to the straw and was shaking it to fluff it up.--Initially I got a few splinters and had to put on gloves. To be fair, it was still packed in the box sideways and I was pulling it out from the side instead of taking it out of the box and picking it up off the top. Which took a lot of force.--Not quite as soft as 2 other brands I had bought.Overall it is pretty good but not perfect. Has longer strands than 2 other brands I've used but is the most dusty of the 3, and just a little less soft. Cheaper by weight than the other brands as well. Overall I'd probably by it again. If they were able to cut down on the dust/dirt, I'd give it 5 stars.For those using it for mulching, yes, it did have a fair amount of seeds in it.

If you had a mouse, maybe this would be considered pet bedding. Not a good value, actually a very poor value. Small amount considering the cost! Would not recommend purchasing it.

Good quality, fast delivery. Pleased with my purchase.

Clean, light and airy -- large and "raw enough" to not clump or compact after watering - a plus! Very little wheat seed to be found in 12 lbs of this, so perfect for garden top dress/mulch...I used 12 lbs to cover 4 raised beds (each about 3' x 6' to 3" 8' each) about 2" to 4" deep as well as a few other areas that get hit hard with out Central CA valley sun in the summer. Not only will this help to keep soil temps regulated, but water saving will be incredible from much less evaporation. Added bonus of using straw like this for mulch? The light color of the straw reflects more sunlight back at your plants and their leaf undersides...oh yeah! :)

Almost 30 days since I received my Wheat Straw. If i were going to use this as a lawn filler it would have done quite nicely growing into grass but I used it for my vegetable garden and it has run rampant with wheat grass. I will layer more wheat straw under and around the vegetables until I can't stand it anymore. It was boxed securely and within a large plastic bag contained the straw which was rather generous and yes a bit pricey but, it's COVID and SIP and my garden and pet stores were out of stock of hay, straw etc. I wanted to support these type of industries instead of the Home Depots and Lowes. There should be a disclaimer of the wheat straw growth when watered often. Thank you.

I've bought from Thunder Acres before and I heartily recommend their straw! We have been Feral Cat Caretakers, using TNR, for over 12 years. We're registered with a sponsoring agency but are strictly mom and pop, not a shelter. We're also in the Mid-West and need winter bedding for the cats. Over the years we've used many bales of straw and other types of bedding. The last few years, I've needed to buy straw online occasionally. Thunder Acres has proven to be the most consistent supplier of quality long stem straw, not shreds, chopped straw or "leavnings". If I've had a question, they have responded quickly and helpfully. My only wish is that they could advertise two types of straw: long stem for animal bedding; chopped for garden mulch.
