I don't know anything about Oxbow. But I do know that seed mixes are perfectly fine for gerbils if they do not contain too many sunflower seeds and have the right fat and protien content. Seed mixes offer them a variety of foods, rather than one same boring taste every day, every meal. That is probably why it is hard to get them to eat only it, especially if they have ever been exposed to seed mixes. Everyone compliments me on how healthy and beautiful my gerbils are, and they have been fed solely on seed mixes. I usually buy two different brands though, and mix them together. One bag has no sunflower seeds in it, the other has some.
My Guinea pigs eat pellets alone, rather than the seed mixes made for them, because I have read on many sites that Guinea pigs should not be fed seed mixes or pellet mixes containing hard colored pieces as these are dangerous to them. HOWEVER, my guinea pigs get a large variety of choices, because they are also fed hay, and a wide variety of vegetables, with occasional fruit treats.
