Hi Ria, thanks for your answer. I give her playpen time 4 or so times a week, she had this behaviour just after I put her there after her play time. She wasn't enjoying it much since she was biting the edges of the playpen. Sometimes she seems to like it, other times she doesn't...

I had also put more substrate on her cage and cleaned her hideout. Maybe the combination of all that caused this...? I've been checking her out tonight and she hasn't bitten anything yet which is a relief.

I didn't know the potty litter was bad for her, she likes it a lot, always goes there to dig. I'll replace it with sand and see how she likes it. I know she uses her sand bath it during the night.
Your suggestions are really good, I'll probably get all of that!
