They should be at earliest 4 weeks (28 days) old when they leave, unless their mother has another litter due soon, in which case she will need to leave a bit earlier (at about 23 days)

The average litter size a rat may have is anywhere in between 8 and 12.
well...maybe, if you really want.
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
A cage that they rat can't escape from - make sure wire cages have the wire close enough together that the rat can't squeeze out. If it can get its head through, it can escape.A water bottleA food dish - feed a commercial rat diet and fruits, veggies and treatsBedding - this can be paper shreds, commercial bedding, old blanket scraps, etc. They like to have an old cardboard box or even a "rat cube" made from material to curl up in to sleep. They also like hammocks.Litter - you can do litter across the entire bottom of the cage or you can try a litter pan but most likely the rat will not "use" the litter pan so covering the entire cage floor is recommended.Toys - rats get bored and will play with toys to entertain themselves.Speaking of treats, I had a pet rat that enjoyed cat food.
It all depends, a rat can have up to 20 "kittens" a litter. This doesn't mean it will though, my rat had 10 babies. Hope that helped!
Mice and rats mark their paths and territories with urine, and that'll include your shoulder. Rats can be litter trained. If you can do that, you can encourage the rat to use the litter before you take it out of its enclosure to play with.
You can leave your pet rat alone for 2 days but it is not advisable; attention is key.
Maybe she was the runt of the litter. For kids; Runt=smallest My rat was the runt of the litter we believe.
Make sure that you have a low-sided litter box available and the mother cat will show the kittens the ropes.
