 Sad Day :( Need help

Im feeling awful,
Over one night, i find my tortoises both died.

I cannot understand how though, they were completely fine before, and I went to feed them and change their water this morning and they were stone cold dead.

Their bodies had ballooned almost, and it looks like one had bleed out.
I just want closure, I think perhaps they got an infection, and one gave it to the other. This must have been going on for a while and I never once noticed.

I feel so awful. :(
Also, their heat bulb burst about 3 weeks ago, and I have not been able to replace it because I’ve been waiting to get paid as I order them online, and need money in my card, and the bulbs came just today :(

If anyone has any information as to what this could be, please help me out! My tortoises did not deserve this :(

We found out what happened, it was a rat that had attacked them during the night. (Their table is in the garage.) It’s very sad as we were just about to move them back into the house. :(

sorry about the turtles.
was it a wild rat and did you euthanize it?
