My hamster has started pouching all her food!

Try and get one large floor space instead of several cages connected together.This would make hoarding a lot better,and it would be much more natural and appropriate for your hamster

Agree with Amityville. Two smaller units joined together can cause these kind of behaviours as they can't do more natural behaviours like they can in one continuous floor area cage. Apologies if one cage is large enough to give the necessary continuous floor area. With one larger floor area she will develop places for things like hoards and nesting and the whole cage will be her living environment. When two are connected it's almost as if they see the connection tube as a route that someone could get in through and they can block it off or get anxious about things like hoarding. You could make a bin cage quite cheaply if you don't mind a little bit of diy. Something like this

Bins vary in price between about £10 and £40 for a good sized one (about 80cm by 50cm for a Syrian or 70cm by 40cm for a dwarf). But you can get an Alaska cage for about £33 and that's an ideal size for a hamster.

Is she a Syrian or a dwarf hamster? The Alaska has good access - a big front opening door so interaction with your hammy can be good and taming easier and good for getting things in and out of the cage, plus it has a good deep base for plenty of substrate. The little white house on the shelf is no good really and the holes are too small for a syrian, but it just lifts off the shelf. You just need a house on top of the substrate, and her wheel and toys and you'd be set to go.
