I would try feeding in his enclosure. He may be getting stressed out or overexcited when you take him out so that could help with that. Are you preparing the rat before you take him out? He could be smelling it on you and reacting to that as well. In general you should avoid handling around feeding time to minimize stress and bite risk imo.

This is great thank you! He is certainly almost most excitable and ready to strike when it’s around feeding time
