It depends on how old the baby rat is and also what gender both the rats are. It is easier to introduce an 8-10 week old rat to an adult male. Whereas, it is easier to introduce a 12-16 weeks old rat to an adult female.
Females have a tendency to hurt babies that are too young.
I have owned many rats in the past, both female groups and male. I currently have seven males in one cage and all are different ages.

∙ 13y agoIf the rats are both females they will probably get along fine, but males are more territorial and may fight. If one is male and one is female they will probably breed, if they do then the father might eat the babies and if she sees you touching them she might eat them.
