No! Carnivores are secondary consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers.
Rats are primary consumers. This means they will eat almost everything. In the wild, primary consumers provide nutrition for secondary consumers.
If there were more secondary consumers than primary consumer, then the primary consumers may not be able to find food to survive and become extinct. With too many secondary consumers as a result of no predators of them, then all of the plants may become extinct as well, causing the whole food chain to die out.
