Even when doing a clean I don't remove the nest if it's dry. The hoard tends to need "pruning" if left a long time or it can take over the bottom of the cage, but that's ok. Strangely I've found when I leave the hoard a long time they take clean sand from the potty and mix it into the hoard - maybe trying to preserve it! Both our Syrians have done that, but the current one does it a lot - I have found a lot of sand in a completely different part of the cage with the hoard!
