So I got my first rat about a week ago, and I've been doing research trying to get it to trust me and all that. Well, after a few days of having him and following what I've read, I can pet him no problem, and just recently he's started to eat treats out of my hand. The thing is though, I've blocked off a chuck of my room so that I can let him run around, and he's very curious, but he's still very skittish when I try to pick him up. I'm just wondering if any of you out there have any suggestions that might help me out with picking him up.
Thanks a bunch.

Oh, and he's still fairly young I believe, if that means anything...
