Is she nesting in a house or open nest?
With plastic houses the condensation & ammonia build up really isn't healthy, wooden houses are better but they do need a coat of plastikote to water proof them, once they've peed on untreated wood you never get the smell out so they tend to keep on doing it.
I would try not to remove too much of the nest, just take out anything wet daily & leave the rest while she continues to do it, with any luck she'll start using the litter tray if she has one.

She is nesting in a house, which is unfortunately plastic. Would you reccomend buying a wooden house?
