Dung Paddies and Straw bales
A straw house is a type of building construction where straw bales are used as a primary building material. These bales are stacked together to form the walls of the structure, providing insulation and structural support. Straw houses are known for their energy efficiency and sustainability.
Farm buildings can range from sheds (wood or brick built), barns, and any building that is used to store animal feed and bales of hay and straw, fertilizers, machinery, live stock, and so on.

Straw bales are blocks of straw. They are usually about 18" x 18" x 30" and weighy around 50 lb. They can be compressed to about half these dimensions for transport by hydraulic rams. Present practice is to make large rolled bales 4' in diameter and 3' in length.
There can be about 8,000 to 12,000 pounds of straw in a large haystack. The amount of straw can vary depending on the size of the haystack and the density of the bales.
I would guess about 70-80 bales
The straw is baled (blocks of straw tied by twine or wire) and after the bales are stacked like a child's alphabet blocks, a layer of concrete is sprayed on the inside and outside.

It is often a matter of choice and economy. Straw is absorbent , easy to handle and store in bales. And can be used in the garden later as fertilizer since they compost very quickly. Shavings are slightly more expensive and depending on how and where you buy them can be less convenient to store, but they are as absorbent . They can also be used in the garden in moderation as they do not compost as well as straw.
No you can't feed straw to a hamster or else it will get sick!
