My brothers pet rats used to bite but it was because they fed it treats through the cage bars! In most cases rats are very nice to humans and will not bite unless it has mental issues or if the first thing you did when getting it was feed it through the cage.
Rats can read your body language and can tell what mood your in so what you need to do is just go and pick your rat up! When entering the cage do not hesitate, just DO! even if your rat bites you. Once your rat is out of the cage, let 'em craw on your shoulder and take him for a walk :) also you can get him and let him loose on a chair with you sitting on it. Once you get to know each other out of the cage things should be fine!
Hope this helps, it did for my brothers.

The main carriers of the bubonic plague were fleas and rats. The fleas got it from the rats when they bit them. When the rats died, the fleas went to new hosts, bit them, and gave them plague in the process. Usually the new host was another rat, because rats hang together, but sometimes there was no rat to go to, and the fleas went to whatever animal they found.
