She sounds nice and snug in her nest under the shelf. You could try putting a tube over the entrance of the house and see if that tempts her in. It might be she just feels settled for now but I'm sure she'll go in it at night even if just as a hidey place.

Hams like it untidy It feels like home then ha ha.
I will leave her food in the wheel (there is a lot in there!). Can't really get anything over the entrance to her house as it is side on under the shelf and her nest entrance is directly in front of the house doorway. Thanks for all the advice.
