Answer
It seems to me that if there are no blood problems at all, you might check their organs. There may be a genetic flaw which is causing their premature deaths. Have you had any of the dead animals given a postmortem? If not, that is definitely the way to go.
If there are no clues in that, then I am also at a loss to help.

Good luck,
