It’s funny that you mention zupreem because just the other day I saw it sitting next to Oxbow, and compared the fiber and nutrients and it seemed good very good. I did not look any further into the ingredients, so I’ll have to take a closer look next time I’m there. I’ll also do a check on the net and see what I can find.

Regardless of what you choose, be sure to change the old pellet with new over a few weeks time.

i’ve never bought the pellets but have bought the hay. i also compared the fiber, etc. and it seemed comparable! its a brand i see a lot.

Okay, so I actually found a comparison of zupreem vs Oxbow – Check it out  – it is interesting.  Also, keep in mind, this is one person’s point of view.

The expert there was worried about the sugary contents (Corn gluten meal, Ground corn, Dried beet pulp) of Zupreem, but Oxbow has Cane Molasses in it so not sure how that compares with the corn meal and beet pulp.   Just more research to do.

Ohhhh  I was feeding Zupreem and thought the fiber was lower. I guess I should have taken my reading glasses with me.  Oh well since it has the same amount of fiber as Oxbow I can go back to Zupreem cause they sell it at the pet store right down the street..  Gee guess my eyesight is really going  shabby on tiny print. Hehehee.

Yeah it being down the street is closer so I dont’ have to go all across the river on a long bus ride for Oxbow.  Yet this local pet store does run out of Zupreem too.  That would not be good.

But you know I dont’ want to keep changing their pellets around either. Just when they get used to 1 brand I switch to another.  Well I got plenty of Oxbow to last about 2 months

I just wanted to pop in and add that we had a member do some extensive research on caloric content of some pellets that I thought you might be interested in too:

Sarita also posted a really interesting read on pellets in the discussion too:

And here is another one:

Some time ago someon on here mentioned that Zupreem was giving away free small bags of their pellets. It was actually a decent sized trial package but none of my buns would eat them.

places will sell out of stuff from time to time, that’s actually a GOOD thing b/c that means their product is getting turned over… i’d be more worried if the same bag of pellets was sitting on the shelf for 6 months straight with a layer of dust on it… you could avoid this by always having one spare bag. when you open into that last bag, make sure to go to the store ASAP and purchase another bag to replace it. same thing with hay, i try to make sure i always have extra b/c you never know when they’re gonna go on a sudden “hay kick” where they can’t get enough…

i got the zupreem sample when they had it, i have not even opened it yet, the pellets are much larger than the oxbow. if they like it i might use it as a hand treat since the pieces are bigger…
