No. Leave the mother & babies together, but if there are other rats, take the other rats out. Mum & bubs need to stay together, otherwise the bubs will die.

How will a female rat act to a new male rat?

The fmale rat will sniff the male rat, while he sniffs her at the same time. You will need to watch them for about an hour to make sure they don't fight. If you do not want babies, keep them separate. The male rat will try to mount the female rat, if he is not spayed. If you do want babies leave them together for 10 days (If they don't fight.), and you will surely have babies 21 days after she got prego.
