Which of these pellet food is better?

Which of these pellet food is better? They're both Timothy based pellets:

Number 1

Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein (min) 13%, Crude Fat (min) 1.5%, Crude Fiber (min) 18%, Crude Fiber (max) 23%, Moisture (max) 12%, Calcium (min) 0.3%, Calcium (max) 0.8%, Phosphorus (min) 0.3%, Salt (min) 0.25%, Salt (max) 0.75%, Vitamin A (min) 5000IU/lb.



Number 2

Guarenteed Analysis: Crude Protein (min.) 18.0%, Crude Fat (min.) 1.0%, Crude Fiber (max.) 22.0%, Moisture (max.) 12.0%.



Im going to mix in with alfalfa based food, which i was already feeding, with a Guaranteed Analysis of:

Crude Protein (min.) 15.0%, Crude Fat (min.) 2.5%, Crude Fiber (min.) 20.0%, Crude Fiber (max.) 24.0%, Calcium (min.) 0.80%, Calcium (max.) 1.30%, Phosphous (min.) 0.50%, Salt (min.) 0.75%, Salt (max.) 1.25%, Vitamin A (min.) 8000 IU/lb., Vitamin E (min.) 20 IU/lb., Ash (max.) 9.0%.





So number one or two?

they are pretty similar. the only difference is in the protein/carb ratio that I can see. I'd probably go with the first one because levels of things like calcium are stated but I don't think it makes much difference. They are both very high in fibre which is the main reason for switching to timothy.

 

[CottonMather]

i'd go for no.1 cos it has lower protein, and also the fibre is minimum 18%, whereas in no. 2 the fibre is maximum 22%

is this better than number 1 and 2?

oxbow bunny basics t mine are on the 15/23 at the moment but will be changing them over to this in a couple of months,and it's personal choice really it is a good pellet but there are other ones wich are just as good

is this better than number 1 and 2?

well this one is even higher in fibre so id be tempted to go with this one. What is it if you dont mind me asking?
My lot have Allen and Page natural pellets

its actually oxbow bunny basics/T for adult rabbits
i just mix in a pinch of it because my rabbit is only 5 months old
