Question Hoarding spots?

So I was wondering if anyone's hamster does this?
She has a food bowl with hamster food in and she gets veg and fruit and other bits to eat daily.
She will always put it all back in the food bowl 🙄 so her hoard is the food bowl!
I assume this is normal-ish for her to do that?!
Also over the last week she has changed sleeping places 2 times, again normal?
She used to sleep in her tuff tube but that has been cleaned out as she peed in it (yuck) I put it back but she doesn't use it now, I put a box in, as suggested but she goes mental and hates it in the cage so I have to take it out. So she is for now sleeping under a large bendy bridge that her food bowl sits on top of.

Our beloved little Monty initially used to hoard in her nest and in one spot in a tube but eventually began just burying her food bowl under substrate!

It's not that unusual for hams to use their bowls to hoard food so a bit weird but fairly normal all the same! Sleeping in different places isn't that unusual either & as you had to clean the old tube she slept in she may take a while to settle on somewhere she really likes to sleep,
