How often do you clean the cage?
All you really need to do is spot clean pee when you find it then just do partial cleans as & when it really needs it, maybe do one area of the cage every few weeks leaving the nest & hoard alone as much as possible.
If you give a good deep layer of substrate (at least 15cm) it makes it easier to just do partial cleans & you'll find you need to clean less, it would also mean she could dig & burrow & make a proper nest.
If she's scratching a lot then it is possible there's a problem like mites but you would usually see some fur loss around the head area if that were the case.
