                    I use Oxbow and recommend it- but there are some other considerations that you may or may not need to think about- such as if you can buy them locally or if you can easily order them online in plenty of time before needed. Petstores in my area are beginning to carry Oxbow all the time- in the 5 lb bags. I had 3 bunnies- but now only have 2- but still like the value of a 10 lb bag and that the bag reseals after opening- as i keep my pellets in a snapware jar for everyday feeding. So I usually order two 10 lb bags at a time from the Binky Bunny store to make sure that I don’t run out.
                    So I think Oxbow is great- but if someone had more limited access to Oxbow- then some of the other pellets like Kaytee timothy, Zupreem and American Pet Diner would be fine instead. No one in my area carries APD or Sweet Meadow- so they were not even a serious consideration when I was choosing between pellets.

                      Edit: I should mention that I did not consider APD or Sweet Meadow as the only way to get them as shipped to me- and they were quite pricey shipped to my area.

                          You have to change their pellets slowly, over time. I would buy some now and over the next few weeks switch it over by mixing a small amount of the new with a large amoutn of old, like 3/4 old, 1/4 new. The next week, do 50/50, the week after 1/4 old, 3/4 new. A drastic diet change like pellets could cause tummy problems.

                              I was feeding Mazuri but only petsmart carries it so I just did the switch to Oxbow and my bunny likes it and its good quality.
