All rats need to be gradually introduced to new rats before they get along. Get them out of their cage onto a neutral area, with no food around, and let them meet. do this every so often. It is normal for the older rats to show dominance over the younger ones.

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.

How do you introduce a baby rat to an adult rat?

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.
