## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the long term shelf life of this product (unmixed)?  I'd like to have some on hand in case of emergency.**
A: Basically you can keep it more than 12 months with no problem. My pet just got recovered of being with this amazing product, so... if I were you I would keep at least one in your house.

**Q: How long does this product stay good? Does keeping it in the refrigerator extend it's shelf-life? Thank you.**
A: Since this is a dehydrated product, I do not worry about shelf life.  As long as it remains dry, I believe it will be fine (will not spoil).  Some of the vitamins may loose potency, but other than that I believe It will be good for a long time.

**Q: Is this the anise flavored one?**
A: They no longer make the anise flavored one. They still did a year ago, but I bought more last week and wanted the anise flavored, but it's no  longer available. Now it's just apple-banana flavored, which is fine too.

**Q: can this be used as a hay replacer? if not what can be?**
A: I wouldn't recommend this as a daily hay replacer as hay is so important to a bunny.   Bunnies need to chew for digestion and to keep teeth from growing.   I would add this to his diet and still encourage him to eat hay.   As bunnies age they may have a problem with chewing due to dental issues.   This can be used to help with nutrition if that occurs.
