Question Ham Ham kicking bedding and sleeping in diffrent places.

When I put my hand flat in Botan's cage she will some times kick her bedding at me. Does that have the same meaning a nipping. Also Botan seems to change were she sleeps a lot. Like I'll look over at her cage and she will be sleeping in one spot but when I look over again she will sleeping in a different spot is that normal.

Not sure about kicking bedding at you, I've never had that happen but it may be a sign that she doesn't want to be disturbed or have your hand in the cage possibly.
They do move nests from time to time but if you can see her sleeping I'm wondering does she have a proper house, something big enough (preferably not plastic) with no base on a deep layer of substrate with plenty of shredded toilet tissue to make a proper nest? She may be sleeping in different places because she doesn't have anywhere that's really suitable but I can't really say not knowing what your set up is like.

I bought a mini plastic igloo that she some times goes into. Also should I deter her from sleeping in certain places. Like in one of her cages has plat forms were I put her water bowl and she will some times sleep there should I keep her from doing that or leave her be.

No you can't deter her from sleeping anywhere, you have to just let her go where she wants to.
They sometimes sleep in odd places or out in the open when it gets warm, if she has a sand bath then that will provide a nice cool place for her if she does get a bit hot.
The mini igloo isn't really suitable, even a large bendy bridge with lots of shredded toilet tissue stuffed under it would be better (& deep substrate so she can burrow down if she wants to) or a cardboard box with no base & a door cut out.
