Rats can be practically any age. They could be a few months old to a year, maybe older. There's no age limit! Rats become capable of mating at four to five weeks of age and females may get pregnant at any point in their lives. At this point, if one is raising rats, they must be removed from their mother and placed in separate cages according to gender (should be easy--male rats are easy to identify!).

Rats typically live around 2-3 years in captivity, but can live longer with proper care and genetics. In the wild, rats usually have a shorter lifespan due to predators and lack of access to consistent food and shelter.

It depends on what you mean by 'adulthood' they reach sexual maturity at about five weeks and they are usually about fully grown at five to six months of age.
