We had problems with the leg bones puncturing the food saver bags. Now we use shrink bags that you put chickens into. When I process, I do not cut through the sternum. Then we take the back legs and bend the rabbit forward so the back legs are tucked into the chest cavity. It makes the whole thing almost like a ball. Put the rabbit down in the shrink bag and dunk into almost boiling water. It presents a very tightly package rabbit with little chance of freezer burn.
Where you get the shrink bags from? We had a few that the leg bones punctured the food saver bags.
