In general, straw is not used as a foodstuff but is often used for bedding, etc. Hay is usually used for food and can be used as bedding as well.

Straw (or hay) is not a great bedding material for tortoises- drying but mildews easily, dusty, etc. Most forest torts are not real fond of hay as food, although some eat it. I grind compressed Timothy hay cubes into short fibers that I add to lettuces to boost the fiber content and they eat that OK.
