It doesn't sound like a disease. As fast as they seemed to die, I wonder if they got into poison somewhere? Perhaps a neighbor is using poison bait traps? If that's a possibility, then I wouldn't leave the dead or ailing mice out where something might eat them and also be poisoned.

Not sure that there's a more humane way to handle it besides what you're already doing.

Very sad, though.
