I am sorry to hear that...
Might be an idea to still see if the vets can offer some sort of opinion on cause of death. If it is Schmorl's disease then the owner is liable and the other rabbits are at risk.

If it is rats then the landowner is liable if they can't show they have taken action about a rat infestation.

In my experience (in the past), rats will attack the eyes first, but can only manage to kill babies & guinea pigs. Most adult rabbits can see off rats and get away with just a bite or two. Missing ears doesn't quite ring true, so I would get a professional opinion.

If it is genuinely due to wild rats then the owner may not be liable, it could be the landowner.

Re: urgent answer needed

you have shown this rabbit love, warmth and kindness.

you need to report this situation to the RSPCA immediately stating the other rabbtis lives are at risk! they will then do something. Unfortunatly the RSPCA are underfunded and there for under staffed, unless its an emergency and depending on your area it can take a while to help.

Failing this I would personally remove all rabbits with the help of another rescue.

please do something!

Re: urgent answer needed

Eradibait is effective in controlling rats and is safe to use around all non rodents
