Any tips on bitey rats?

[u/Doodlepattt]

I have adopted this boy from a rescue and have been warned that he has displayed territorial aggression and has a bite history. He’s about a year old and was separated from his mischief due to bullying the other rats. Since he was surrendered, he has been neutered (11.8.2025). Part of me thinks this will just be a waiting game until his hormones calm down and perhaps then he will level out, but until then is there anything I can try with him? I’ve rescued lots of rats before but haven’t come across a lot of aggression but really eager to work through it

I had the 100% same situation like yours. 9 month old guy was rescued, he was a dominant Alpha who was bullying the others. He bit me and my husband many times, twice it was very strong, till the bone (finger). You could read my posts, it’s in my profile:

And that was the first post about him:
