Lemming suicide is fiction. Contrary to popular belief, lemmings do not periodically hurl themselves off of cliffs and into the sea. Cyclical explosions in population do occasionally induce lemmings to attempt to migrate to areas of lesser population density. When such a migration occurs, some lemmings die by falling over cliffs or drowning in lakes or rivers. These deaths are not deliberate "suicide" attempts, however, but accidental deaths resulting from the lemmings' venturing into unfamiliar territories and being crowded and pushed over dangerous ledges. In fact, when the competition for food, space, or mates becomes too intense, lemmings are much more likely to kill each other than to kill themselves.

Rats are smart creature in habitat selection
They do follow ships but have sense to abandon ships that are sinking. Rats in arctic region can sense they are in trouble
especially hibernation will not work with that duration tends to
escapes as in sinking ships case .

Hey,
After seeing your question, I am also interested to know about it.
Elaborate more on it.
Looks like some body has passed a rumour to you
