They are comparable but the ingredientsdiffer and Kaytee has a 13% protein versus 14% in Oxbow. Kaytee hasEthoxyquin which is a known carcinogen (cancer causer).

But that being said, this is what m.e. had to say about Oxbow:
Oxbowcontains Menadione, a synthetic Vitamin K additive thatisbelievedto cause (among other things) "cytotoxicity in livercells".Many pet food manufacturers are starting to remove itfrom their products.I feed my rabbits Oxbow, and recentlystarted researching this.

If there's a perfect food out there Ihaven't found it yet...
So other than that, it depends on the rabbit. I am feeding bothat the moment but with full intent of feeding Kaytee Timothy Completeonly. I have however, heard of a few rabbits getting soft poos withKaytee but that could just depend on the rabbit. If yours are find onKaytee, then I say keep them on it.
 
I use Oxbow. Kaytee looks good but I'mstill nervous about that company because of how bad all the rest oftheir pellets are. But if your rabbits are doing fine I seeno reason to switch because they're pretty much a horse a piece.
