Using hay/straw to package up a hamper?!

[Moirarosesgarden]

Is this a nice “green” idea or is it unhygienic?! All food/drink is fully wrapped.

It can be quite smelly

I probably wouldn't personally, as hay can smell. You can get recycled shredded raffia from Amazon for packing hampers. Probably lots of other places too.

How about some shredded paper? If you have a shredder you could shred leftover bits of wrapping paper for example.

Very dry straw perhaps but not hay.

I know you can get the shredded paper just thought this might be cheaper option, but you’re right it probably will smell 🤣

I’m allergic to hay so wouldn’t thank you and only found out after I’d bought Guinea pigs and it’s their staple diet!
