No, a rat's leg cannot grow back if it eats it off. Unlike some species in the animal kingdom that can regenerate lost limbs, rats do not possess this ability. If a rat were to lose a leg, it would heal from the injury, but the missing limb would not regenerate. Instead, the rat would adapt to living with the loss.
