I have no idea about rats "sorry", but as you said it well be due to him new to you.
Once he gets used to his new surrounding he may just settle more.

I have just looked up your rat on internet and very interesting did you know they rely on their smell as their eye site is very poor so if it is smelling your dog on you it could be what is making it jumpy also they have great body language to help you know what they want.. I just typed in 'gambian pouch rat'
