Why did my two outdoor rabbits die suddenly after a rainstorm?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | spayed | 1.5 lbs

My rabbits have died this morning without notice, it was raining yesterday night and normally they aren’t scared of the rain nor storm, both my rabbits died on eachother and I don’t know what to do, we cannot take them to the vet as they are buried already

Sorry about your rabbits. Did they get wet and cold? Also possible if loud (lightning) could have scared them also but unlikely that both died of fear at same time. Sorry we don't have better answers for you and sorry for your loss.
