Question Feeding/hoard question

Recently my partner and I went away and his mum came round to look after the pets. She's really great with them and I really appreciate her looking after them, but the instructions I gave her for feeding Cadmium must not have been clear enough because I came back to find Cadmium's bowl almost overflowing with food and she has at least two enormous hoards of food - one in one of the rooms of her labyrinth house and one in her nest.
Because she has such enormous hoards, she's not touched her food in the bowl/scatter feed around the cage all week. I'm not worried about her starving, I'm just concerned that she's going to be picky and only eat the parts of the mix she wants and not get everything she needs.
So my question is, do I hugely prune her hoards now and get back to her usual feed schedule, or wait until she's due another full clean out to avoid disturbing her nest? The problem with waiting is that I cleaned her out the day before we left, so that's a few weeks of picky feeding :/
