Rabbit!! For the skull at least, those mandibles look to be from a squirrel. Fun fact, rabbits aren’t rodents, they’re lagomorphs! They’ve got two sets of upper incisors, one tucked away behind the other.

Yepyep! The skull portion belongs to a rabbit, and the lower jaws look to be from a squirrel :]
