The best way to know what happened is to take one or both of them in for a necropsy. Anything else would be a guess, might be an educated guess, but still a far cry from knowing what it was.



Some guesses:



environmental - heat tape issue?

tainted food items?

an infection that just happened to kill them both at the same time?



So I would recomend you store them in a cool ice chest (do not freeze them) and contact a vet to find out what it was, they may send them off for work or they may do it in house... either way that is the only way to know. A recent necropsy I did was sent off and it cost $175 to have it sent off.
