You're better feed the elephant grass, not meat.

Why yes or why not?
Thank you |

Grass is uncountable and therefore has no plural form.
However, in some cases you can use the plural form when talking about types or classes of something.
Spain has many wines.

And there are many types of grasses. I understand that bamboo is a grass, and so are palms.
