I tried putting her in a playpen, but that seemed to stress her out. She was just running back and forth in a straight line like crazy, so I let her out. When I first started taming her about a week ago, I had us both sit in the closet with some toys, so now when she free roams in my room, she tends to go into the closet (which also helps with putting her back in her cage at the end because she likes to sit in my sneakers). I think the closet seems to be the right size for her (not as big as the whole room, but not as small as the play pen).

As for general transportation, she seems to be learning that my hand is going to let her out of the cage, so she immediately runs over and sits in it when I open up her bin cage, but she also knows it's going to put her back, so she'll avoid it when she's outside of the cage.
