More insane policy out of NZ: "NZ plans to exterminate ALL rats by 2050" - BBC. Not insane in theory, but in practice, this will prove to be literal impossibility, and a complete junket for those involved (like foxes in Tasmania)... At this point, this is nothing more than a vanity project. - Kotaku In Action 2

I present to you: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sands_of_Time_(Hoeye_novel)

It's about a mouse civilisation, after they overthrow an empire ruled by cats, where the mice are slaves...

So, while it's cats rather than humans, this idea definitely has "legs", as it were...

I'm sure that's not the only example, but it's the first that came to my mind, lol.

It's honestly a better book series than it sounds. At least for its target age range, anyway.

Also arguably Redwall, where it's sort of unclear whether humans used to exist there, and then got wiped out, or whether it's just a world inhabited by giant woodland creatures, or hell, if they just have everything scaled down to their size (including mountains, trees, etc.)

So yeah, this is a thing, in YA fantasy, lol.
