Default Can anyone ID this please?

This has come up over the winter in Oscar's enclosure. I quite like it and it's almost like a type of marram grass but I'm struggling to identify it and confirm that it's fine in his enclosure. It grew really quickly and I've had to lop the tops off as it was getting so tall.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Yes, it's an interesting one. Definitely not chives. Shame really as I'd make something nice with them.
I grew chives for a while and then fell out the habit. Maybe I should start again. Anything that goes with cheese is a hit with me.

Here in Scotland we get really coase grasses (sedges?) like that on wet ground. Don't know the name of it though.

Thanks Jonathan and Gordon. So it's safe to remain where it is then?
