Yes they do, but the rattle is not as developed as in adults. It's only a couple of segments, but it's still there. The rattle grows bigger every year by one 'segment' every time they shed their skin.

A baby rattler is born with only a button and not a rattle. It will grow a new segment each time it sheds but will take a couple sheds before its rattle makes a noticeable noise.

Yes, rattlesnakes have babies. They are ovoviviporous - the eggs hatch inside the female and are born live.

A baby rattlesnake is born with a single button, the beginning of a rattle. It will add a segment to the rattle each time it sheds its skin.
