Oxbow vs. Versele-Laga

[Kristine]

The wholesaler I get my Oxbow from now carries Versele-laga, which I had not previously heard of. I'm not looking to get away from Oxbow - just curious to know how the two brands compare. Any thoughts?

If this is the one I am thinking of, it's not one I would feed. I saw it at a trade show and was full of "extras".

Versele-Laga is not an acceptable feed.

"Fresh Vegetables
The extrusion process allows fresh vegetables to be added to the pellets. The addition of at least 10 % fresh vegetables ensures their delicious taste. Combined with the fibres and the texture of Chinchilla Complete makes it a feed for chinchillas with a high degree of ingestion."
