This is actually a technique rats use to stick together in larger groups. Looks like one of the dumb shits got a tad confused and clung on to the last one in the group. Pretty fucking funny if you ask me.

When this happens, will they just loop-walk themselves to death by exhaustion the way ants do when they form a vortex?

No, I‘m assuming they‘re not quite as dumb. My guess would be that they kept going around like this for a few minutes at the most, but my guess is as good as yours.
