I've been wanting to switch over to the adult Oxbow pellets, with nutritional values of:
Fibre Protein Calcium
Bunny Basics T (Adult Rabbits) 25-28% 14% 0.35-0.8%
http://www.rabbitrehome.org.uk/care/rabbitfood.asp
From Burgess Excel Supa rabbit, which is the number one Veterinary Recommended rabbit food in the UK, but I couldn't understand why, as Oxbow has a higher fibre content and lower protein- or so I thought. Now I have found out that the protein has changed in the adult nugget to 13%.
And now I have found out that not only do they have crude fibre, but that have between 35-39% of Beneficial fibre in addition. What is the difference between crude fibre and beneficial fibre? Do the combined values of 19% crude fibre, and 39% beneficial fibre of the Adult pellet, outweight a value of about 26% just crude fibre?
I am second guessing switching brands now, after seeing that.
This is the website with the nutritional values on:

Thanks for any advice
