Rabbits and squirrels?
My go to method on rabbits was to use a wooden sawhorse with two 16 penny nails in the top of it about 16" apart. We would dip the rabbits into a 5 gal bucket of water to keep the hair from floating around and tie the back legs to the nails with baling wire. Strip them down to the tail, on each leg, and then get both sides and pull down. Normally that would also pull the stomach meat open, and all the guts would come out with one pull. We only pulled them down to the rib cage, took the backstraps and back legs as a whole piece, cutting them up later on a cutting board.
I never had good luck cleaning squirrels. Always got hair every where even dunking them in water, but it was better than not doing it.
