At what age can baby rats be sold?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

I usually separate the babies at 4/5 weeks old and then sell them around 7/8 weeks old

Answer 6

rats can start breeding as young as 6 weeks. that's why it's important to separate litters between 5 and 6 weeks.
