Default Do rats eat slugs?

Do rats eat slugs? (I'm starting to see rats sniffing around my veggie
patch...) If they eat slugs, I will rejoice!

TIA

They certainly eat snails, especially during winter. They also eat worms
and completely stripped one of my compost heaps before I twigged! Slugs I
am not sure, I can not see why not but having watched my hedgehogs ignore
them I begin to wonder if anything eats them from choice!!
