They certainly do if they can get them.

More likely to be a cat, IMO.

Cats tend to eat everything except the bowels, or at least, the liver
etc. It amazes me how they manage to excise rodent organs absolutely
clean and completely unbroken. Dogs just eat the lot.

Possibly, another rat?


You could be right. Rats certainly cannibalise each other.
