Pardon my ignorance here - but what exactly is the difference between hay and straw?
My understanding is that buns are supposed to eat the hay, and the straw is pretty much unnecessary as it just serves to soak up wee and provides a soft surface for their paws.
Am I right?
Thanks!
(I spent a fortune on Oxbow timothy and they won't touch it. But I have seen them nibbling at straw. Have bought one of those sample packs from the hay experts that someone recommended to see if I can find something they'll like).
