    Baby Rats-Weaning
    Is it normal for baby rats to drink from their mother after three weeks still, even though they eat and drink water? Now that they can eat and drink, do I separate them so they stop drinking from the mother?

    The 'pups' (proper name for baby rats) will be completely weaned at four weeks; what you are seeing right now is just about normal for their development, eating anything that comes their way, drinking water and still nursing.
