When I had Lexi she used to stash it in the corner and pee on it and then put some in her house. She did it for a few days and then would stop until I cleaned her cage. One thing I learnt was not to clean her full cage. I didn't realise that it was upsetting her at first. Now with all my hams I spot clean rather than doing a full cage clean and replace any stored food with fresh. Spot cleaning and keeping their scent in the cage should help. Do you clean her bowl with anything that has a strong smell? She might be marking herself on the bowl?
