Will a female mother rat eat her babies if the are alone for week?

It is unlikely that a female mother rat will eat her babies if they are alone for a week. Rats are social animals and mothers typically care for their young until they are weaned. However, if the mother rat is stressed or feels threatened, she may eat her babies as a way to protect herself and the rest of the litter. Additionally, if the mother rat does not have access to food or water, she may eat her babies as a last resort to obtain nourishment.
