Well, that was an interesting morning. Wonder how the rabbit died and what the fuck was wrong with the second.
I'll lurk here for the Happy Ending
Brain damage
Remember there may be many more rabbits or corpses left

I'd say water in the brain or ear infection. Rabbits are very prone to ear infections.
Well now my morning is ruined.
I want to go home and hug my bunnies.

>Encephalitozoon cuniculi is a widespread protozoal (microsporidian) infection of rabbits and occasionally of mice, guinea pigs, rats, and dogs. Usually, no clinical signs are seen, but a few rabbits develop mild, chronic renal disease. Some develop brain lesions that may result in convulsions, tremors, or head tilt. Head tilt is often caused by bacterial infection with Pasteurella multocida; this can be difficult to distinguish from head tilt associated with E cuniculi infection, because both infections are common and can occur together
