At around the age of 4 to 5 weeks, they will wean, and you will notice them not nursing any longer, and eating a lot more of the solid food and drinking water than they were when they were just starting to figure this all out. Once you are sure they are eating and drinking completely independent of the mother, it's safe to find them a new home. Don't keep the litter together past 5 or 6 weeks though; you will need to separate the males from females, or they will breed.
The mother rat will let you know rather quickly that you can't touch her babies if she is present. If you find a baby whose mother isn't around, you can touch it. You shouldn't if it is in a nest and its mom is probably coming back to it. However, if it is somewhere you feel it is in danger or not going to live, you could attempt to save it and care for it yourself. Just use your best judgement. All babies need their mommies.
Baby rabbits (kits), start to eat solids as early as 5 weeks old, and SHOULD NEVER be sold until they are 8 weeks old, at the earliest. They still need the milk up until they are at least 6 weeks old.
Even after they are 8 weeks old, only sell them if the rabbits are showing signs that they are ready. Separate the males and females earlier, as kits can mate as early as 7 weeks old. If you want healthy rabbit babies, wait until they are 6 months old to breed.
I think the answer is six weeks, but don't start giving your rats away until they can eat normal rat food, opened their eyes and ears, and can survive without momma rat milk.
I usually separate the babies at 4/5 weeks old and then sell them around 7/8 weeks old
rats can start breeding as young as 6 weeks. that's why it's important to separate litters between 5 and 6 weeks.
When the babys are fully inderpendent eating seed by there self
like when they are 8 weeks old
4 1/2 weeks
Yes baby rats can hump each other. There is nothing to worry about though. This is just called "bulling".
rats...
City Baby Attacked by Rats was created in 1982.
Baby rats can be called : PUPS, PINKIES or KITTENS
than you buy the mother rat but if the baby rats are young than get them all. that way you have a mother rat and baby rats to look after.
So long as those baby rats are all boys, yes, but it should be taken slowly, as some adult males will kill baby rats.
No rates are not cannibals!

Baby rats are much bigger than mice. Baby rats look generally more like babies compared to an adult mouse. Rats have blunt noses, short tails, and big heads. They are a bit more "bean" shaped, while baby mice a kind of "pointy" at the nose. Baby rats are about the size of a big jelly bean at birth and without fur look like tiny pigs with big tails.Mice are more of a pinkish color, while rats are more gray.
