TL;DR
Cross-fostering studies show that prenatal rather than postnatal factors transmit this susceptibility to the F 1 progeny to the normally reared F 2 progeny.
Abstract
Premature separation of rat pups from their dams greatly increases their susceptibility to restraint-induced gastric erosions. When prematurely separated female rats grow to adulthood and mate with stock males, their normally reared F 1 progeny also have increased susceptibility to restraint-induced erosions. Cross-fostering studies show that prenatal rather than postnatal factors transmit this susceptibility to the F 1 progeny.

Physiology & BehaviorPhysiological and behavioral effects of infantile stimulation

The general conclusion is drawn that stimulation in infancy results in an animal which is less responsive to novel stimuli (i.e., is less emotional) as measured both at the behavioral and physiological level.
ScienceMaternal and Environmental Influences on the Adrenocortical Response to Stress in Weanling Rats
302 Citations1967Seymour Levine
Handling rat pups either for 10 or 20 days after birth resulted in a reduction of adrenocortical steroids in the plasma at weaning after the pups were exposed to novel stimuli as compared with controls that were not handled.
ScienceBehavior of Adult Rats Is Modified by the Experiences Their Mothers Had as Infants
138 Citations1963Victor H. Denenberg, Arthur Whimbey
The weights at weaning and the defecation scores at 50 days were significantly influenced by the experience in infancy of the "postnatal" mother, whether she was the natural mother or a foster mother.
Psychosomatic MedicineAge at Maternal Separation and Gastric Erosion Susceptibility in the Rat*

The pathogenesis of erosion formation in early separated rats may be unique in that, for that group only, the food deprivation component of the immobilization paradigm, when presented alone, also produced erosion of the glandular stomach, with hemorrhage.
GastroenterologyPredisposition to Gastric Erosions in the Rat: Behavioral and Nutritional Effects of Early Maternal Separation
42 Citations1978Sigurd H. Ackerman, Myron A. Hofer +1 more
The results show that the absence of maternal milk, rather than behavioral deprivation, is primarily responsible for the increase in susceptibility after early maternal separation, however, behavioral interaction with the mother can additionally modify this susceptibility.
MetabolismGlucose intolerance in the progeny of rats treated with single subdiabetogenic dose of alloxan
33 Citations1971Gabriel Spergel, Leonard J. Levy +1 more
This persistence of glucose intolerance in successive generations cannot be explained fully as yet, but may be attributed to alloxan-induced genetic changes, postulated to be persistent suppressive modifications of the action of genes concerned with glucose utilization.
Psychosomatic MedicineBehavioral and Physiologic Effects of Littermate Removal on the Remaining Single Pup and Mother During the Pre-Weaning Period in Rats
28 Citations1973Hoyle Leigh, Myron A. Hofer
It is hypothesized that, with only a single pup present, the rat mother may not be stimulated to develop the normal changes in maternal behavior compatible with the growing age of her pup, resulting in altered development of her infant.
MetabolismEmergence of overt diabetes in offspring of rats with induced latent diabetes
20 Citations1975Gabriel Spergel, Farida Khan +1 more
The significant sex difference in glucose tolerance rates disappears as the animals become more diabetic and decreased fertility and parity become apparent, and one explanation for this data remains the hypothesis of paramutation, induced by alloxan, affecting regulator gene activity.

Cross-fostering was done to separate prenatal from postnatal influences and the finding that when the untreated female F1 progeny were mated with normal males, the untreated F2 progeny showed more defects and to a greater degree than those present in the maternal parent.

The finding that a chronic drug experience in the infancy of albino rats detrimentally affects the learning ability of subsequent undrugged offspring was reconfirmed and no support was obtained for the possibility that cross-fostering significantly affected offspring learning ability.
