It happens.
And cant explain anything no reason for them to die that young but then again rodents die for no reason.

It may have been something with their genetics, maybe a defect you can't see. 11 months old is pretty young for a rat though. Have you introduced any new rats to the colony recently or changed anything with their environment?

No they been fed same food Kent for last 6 months and been fine. Freshwater daily and use pine pellets since day one. No clue but if another dies on me something is up big time.

Re: 2 Dead hope its age
Any of the rats sneezing? Small litter sizes? I know that when I had a mycos flare up it wiped out a lot of my rats and quickly, all because I brought in a rat (feeder) that was sick and he was near them (didn't know he was sick. Now I QT like crazy)
It may have just been a random thing though. I'd keep an eye on the rest of your rats.
