All my syrian hamsters love to have dark houses on top of huge piles of substrate (I use a paper based one called fitch). They burrow down and also block off the entrance to the houses with more fitch.

They have loo paper as nesting material. My latest hamster (Robin) has made a nest behind his wheel and has left himself uncovered as your hamster has. I put loads of loo roll into his cage and he is now completely hidden in a paper mountain!

I am sure your girl will soon be out and about once she has adjusted to life in her new home.
