But she may be picking up on you being stressed
Do this and make a shoebox house with one big room like suggested already then let her settle. Give her a couple of weeks with you relaxing about it and see what happens. The shoebox is good as it’s card and she can chew it
Scatter feed half her food, fill all the corners with stuff she can chew, cork logs, toilet roll tube. Basically give her chewable wall/bar coverings wherever you can. And then RELAX  |
Thank you Maker, those are all very good tips, I'll do that and see if anything changes. I'll try to destress, it just makes me very sad to see her sad or stressed.

I did this yesterday evening, I wanted her to not feel confined so she had the whole living room to herself, I just blocked the hallway and a heater using the playpen panels. It worked all right, she walked quite a bit, I gave her seeds, a long cardboard tunnel, a carboard box, a bridge and her wheel but she only used the tunnel and the box. After some time she started scratching the panels so I put her back in her cage. She must have been tired because she sat for a few minutes on top of her house. Even so, she monkey barred the cage later on and tried to bite a new side of the cage.
