Apart from that some of the toys can’t really be used properly, the toilet paper tubes for example. You could look into replacing them with more interesting items, I try to add as many different textures and types of toys in my cage as possible, different substrates make a big difference too. A dig box with some kind of sand or eco earth usually goes down well. Just removing items she climbs on to escape isn’t going to help in the long run as she’ll just get more bored, maybe experiment with a few different set ups a bit - no sudden massive changes though - but it can take a while to get to one you’re both happy with.
It is difficult when they always want more and nothing seems to be enough but that’s just how they are I’m afraid!

She doesn’t usually dig. The only reason she did that is because I hid treats within the substrate. She likes the toilet paper tubes and it gives her a reason to chew.
