Way too early, they still need their mothers milk. Rule of thumb is to separate males from mother by 5 weeks, or they just may get her pregnant again. Separate male from female siblings by 6 weeks for same reason. After 6 weeks the rats are good to go wherever, just keep them in groups or at least pairs. They are social animals and require companionship. It is unhealthy for them to be alone...

At 4 weeks, it is time to separate the pups from the mother and the females from the males. Keep the hamsters in their separate sex groups for another 2-3 weeks before selling them. At 6-7 weeks, the hamsters are now fully independent and are ready to go to their new homes.


How long do you have to wait till you separate the mommy rabbit from the baby rabbits?

Baby Rabbits Can Be Separated From Its Mother When 8 Weeks Have Passed,Or When It Starts Eating Regular Rabbit Food.By about seven to eight weeks old a baby rabbit should be fully weaned and ready to be separated from its mother. However, do not start this process before at least four weeks of age. Up until then it's vital that they get the nutrition and immunity protection that their mother's milk provides. During the next few weeks the mother's milk will begin to dry up and she would naturally wean the baby herself. During this time the baby rabbit can gradually be introduced to adult food such as greens, vegetables, pellets, and hay.


How long do you have to wait before taking baby mice away from their mother before they start reproducing with each other?

At six weeks of age is the earliest you can separate babies from their mother successfully. However, if at all possible I would suggest waiting at least 8-12 weeks especially, if you are not clear on the actual age of the babies... Actually, mice can reproduce at 4 weeks of age, so it's best to separate them at 3-4 weeks of age. If you have any doubts, if your baby mice are trying to eat solid foods, you should be able to separate them in a day or two.
