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.

Will the adult rat kill the baby rat?

No, especially if they are the parent of the baby rats. Rats have been known to eat the litter when there is no other food source but at no other time. However, if the adult rat is not the parent of the litter I would still not recommend keeping them together
