I've not seen that but in the last week, where I sowed some carrots and been watering them in the dry weather, the damp likely attracted worms which attracted a mole which has dug through the patch where the carrot seedlings were. I've had a mole go all along a row of beans in the past. easier to dig and likely lots of worms.
Years ago I think I had a rat with a sense of humour, cant think what else would do it. A whole row of good looking carrots (from the top) were in fact just carror tops. Something had tunnelled under the row and eaten the lot.
