Thanks for the quick responses! To answer your questions, I usually let her free roam because her travel cage is pretty small and I don't have any other containers. She's not usually a huge biter, but if she stands on my foot (which is our little code for "pick me up and put me back in my cage") and I ignore her, she bites me to get my attention. Also, yes, she does pee near her nest, which I think might be a sign that she doesn't feel very secure. I do use Kaytee Soft & Cozy, and I only spot clean her cage about once a month, so I'm not doing it constantly, but that also means I've given her urine time to build up, which means more to clean ��.
