Upon close examination they do not appear to be rats. Their body shape is very different. Granted, they could be black rats and not Norway rats. Or they can be a different type of rat, or rat relative. Their body shape is different. Plus, they look very very premature and underdeveloped if they are baby rats. Their head is a lot more elongated. If they do turn out to be wild rats I would always take them. I have had several wild roof rats in my day. Raised from an early start they can be just as great as a pet as domestic rats, just with a bit more of a wild streak.
Here is a pic of one of my newborn litters of rats for comparison.Notice the difference in head shape and especiall the difference in hands/feet and legs.
