There was a high-profile incident a few years ago where a contender for "world's largest rabbit" died in the cargo hold. Happens to stowaways too.

As much of an annoyance as animals in the cabin are, the cargo hold is not conducive to supporting mammalian life.

Could you put them in a special temperature-regulating box? But that would be bulky and perhaps cruel…
