Help please –

In one corner of my garden I piled chunks of broken concrete and bricks, then covered it in dirt to provide a false slope. I planted Vinka in several areas on the slope. It has been fine for the past several weeks. All the sudden today I have noticed that some animal has decided to dig a hole through the dirt and make a nest somewhere in the rock pile — AND ripped off all the vinka leaves and pulled them into its nest. I assume its a rat – I’ve seen a few in the yard, but I didn’t think that they burrowed. Any guesses on what it is/how to deal?
