This is what we did for our biters was this.. Don't know if it's really recommended, but it more or less worked.
Constantly "bug" him by opening the cage whenever you go by and petting him. If he's the type to lunge at you, skillfully and slowly reach in and pet on top of his head, right at the base of his skull. Put a tad of pressure so that he's less likely to unexpectedly lunge.
After you've got him like that, pick him up, either by the base of the tail or around the belly. Usually when we hold ours, they're more sedate. Make it short, put him back. Come back later and do it again. Do it a lot to make him used to you.
Also, when they DO bite, we will immediately grab them by the scruff (also support the rump, and not too roughly either) and hold them like that and say NO to them. After a time or two of that, they stop biting.
Except if you're Petunia. She's a fucking cunt.
