Strange indeed... Anything new in room environment that could be poisoning the air? Could they be contracting something from food sourced from a common provider? Assuming there are no vectors crawling from cage to cage it would seem unlikely that it's an airborne virus or bacterium. Water from municipal source or well? Moving to another room a good step to take... I'd contemplate their food and water. I presume there's no Cedar oil based cleaning materials or shavings. The worrisome issue at this point is whether or not the survivors are carrying something in asymptomatic fashion. .... Bumping temperatures up well into the maximum tolerable range has historically been effective to quell viruses. Keep us posted.
