I just recently adopted my new pet rat. She a single rat ( I will be getting her a cage mate soon ). I am still teaching her name and to come when called. mostly I have just been spending time with her out of her cage climbing all over me or on my bed. How can I tell that she is actually enjoying herself with me outside of her cage and not just freaking out?

It sounds like you are doing just fine. Take it slow and easy and be persistent in bonding time. If you'd like here is a list of our rat interaction articles. There are articles on bonding and how to handle a new pet rat.

Keep us updated on your progress with your rat.
