A friendly rat will tend to come and greet you at the carrier door but will normally retreat to the back when getting caught up. Use two hands and scoop/cup the whole body of the rat and lift out of the carrier. If you do not have the back-end of the rat supported/controlled then they will simply reverse out of your hands. Rats are very wriggly patients so keep two hands on at all times when on the table.
