Oxbow make more than just food, and while their foods are not the best quality(especially their hamster food which should not be fed) they do have some decent products. Their Pure Comfort bedding is extremely different to Boxo. Boxo is not virgin fiber, it is recycled cardboard - two very different things!

Speaking of food, the food to feed in the US is Higgins Vita Garden. A lot of people will mention Higgins Sunburst but do not feed that - it's loaded with dried fruits which aren't very good for hamster diets regardless of species. People also often mention mixing Sunburst with Mazuri lab blocks which is a very bad idea and should not be done. Stick with high quality whole food protein boosts like Pure Bites shrimp, chicken, turkey, etc.
