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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Oxbow Critical Care Herbivore, Emergency Guinea Pig Food, Rabbit Food for Recovery, Natural Anise Flavor, Veterinary Formula, Critical Care for Guinea Pig Emergency Kit, 141 gram bag - Oxbow Animal Health Natural Science Digestive Support, High Fiber Supplement for Rabbit & Guinea Pig, Made with Timothy Hay, Includes Chicory Root, Ginger Root, Chamomile, Made in USA, 4.2 oz Bag - PetAg Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel - 15 g Syringe - FOS & Probiotics for Dogs, Cats, Exotic & Wildlife Mammals --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/14646098-oxbow-critical-care-herbivore-rabbit-and-guinea-pig-recovery-anise](https://www.desertcart.us/products/14646098-oxbow-critical-care-herbivore-rabbit-and-guinea-pig-recovery-anise) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-04*
