How Long Will Rabbits Last Gutted?

[chris87 297]

As above got a good couple the other night. Problem is I am in my fathers for the christmas and his woman is a bit squemish about the hole thing and for me to prepare & freeze in this house would not be worth the hassle . So lads how long are rabbits good for when gutted and kept cold (in the car)

 

Cheers

Hung up individually outside ,,, with the temp as it is now ,, I would still and do eat one 5 days later

What about if not hung lads ? There on top of each other in car, I know not ideal but its cool in there at least , car has not been started since i got here.

I would lay them out, individually,, if it's a hatchback ,, get something underneath them,, newspaper just for the mess

might sound stupid but if gone off will the meat smell foul as would normally ? I presume it would just had to ask

They usually die as soon as you pull the guts out to :-)

This time last year they would be fit to eat 10 days later,hung up,this year you,d be lucky to get 4 days.I would,nt be killing them if I did,nt know how long they may last,not rocket science really.

if there in the car just cover the lot

[chris87 297]

First time i have been in situation where i could not prepare and freeze next day, also did not think when i went out id get as many as we did and last thing i was thinking about when numbers were going up on the night was having no where to freeze them ( because it never a problem apart from now) . Not rocket science but also cant always 100% of time be 100% prepared for everything that happens
