Keep them cool.

Lay a towel down in the shade, wet it, lay sack on top, lay another towel on top the sack and wet it. They'll stay alive for 8-10 hours with refridgeration.

Put them in an ice chest with the lid cracked. Leave them in the sack and lay a 20 lb bag of ice on top, then prop it to where it can drain

If you purge them you will kill them !! They are fresh water critters



Let’s start with this, purging does nothing

Washing does

Secondly, you will be killing them shortly after you purge them anyway

This is what I do, but I have seen others do the wet towel with ice. Many on here claim that crawfish need water every once in a while.



I have kept them alive for 2 full days using the method in my previous post. No water necessary other than whatever drips out of the ice bag

Same. I bought some on a Thursday and boiled them on a Friday. Didn't notice a difference in # of dead ones than normal.
