Histamine Tracker
Wild rabbit
Wild rabbit is low in histamine when fresh, though like all game, careful handling after the hunt is what keeps it that way.
Wild rabbit doesn't contain meaningful histamine on its own — the main variable is how quickly it's cooled and butchered after being caught.

Game handling basics — bacteria begin breaking down protein quickly in warm conditions, so prompt gutting and chilling after the hunt is what keeps histamine levels low in any wild game
-
Compared to farmed rabbit — both are low-histamine when fresh, but wild rabbit may have slightly more variability depending on how it was caught and stored before reaching you
If sourcing wild rabbit from a hunter, asking how it was handled post-catch is a worthwhile question.
