Vole, mole, mouse, cotton rat are the favorites here.

I did find a rabbit skeleton underneath my house. Is the only rabbit I've ever seen of my property. But I don't know if it was there before we moved in or not. And I don't know how my cats would have gotten underneath the house to put it there. So I can't confirm that as a confirmed kill.

Was the skeleton disarticulated? If not then the rabbit most likely wasn't killed by predetors or scavenged. If it was hunted you'd see bones scattered and quite a few missing. We have foxes, hawks, and coyotes in our area and every now and then we find bits and pieces of their leftovers in the yard and on the porch but never the whole thing.

It was intact. Maybe it somehow found its way under but couldn't get out. Or it got dragged in by a cat, partially munched and then forgotten about.
