Contrary to popular belief, you can touch a baby rat at any stage of its life (although its best not to interfere with the actual birth). The problem arises when the person touching the rat has dirty hands that have substances that will hurt the young rat or cause it to smell differently. In the latter case the mother may think that the child is sick and will eat or kill her baby.
When handling younger rats make sure your hands are clean and free from soap residue or other chemicals and if possible make sure that you touch all of the other children and the mother so that they all smell the same.
