Any ideas?

Hiya, I just walked in on Cinders causing absolute carnage in her cage. She was digging all of her substrate into the corner of her cage, then nuzzling it out through the wires. She then put her toilet tube roll into her bedding pile and then ripped her ladder off the level and did the same. She also tried to move the wheel into the same corner.
She dug underneath the substrate so I thought she was just making a corner to dig in. But then she stopped and started 'cleaning' the bottom of her cage again! I have seen hamsters digging their substrate, but not gathering every single piece, haha!
I am trying to rule out the possibility of her making a nest for any possible babies, I think she would be at least 14 days gone if she was as she was adopted. She has no bulge and is still running around like a lunatic.
Any ideas on what she's doing or is she just one crazy hamster?
Thanks in advance :D

Our Syrian is a male and he has shifted every single piece of his carefresh bedding into one corner of his cage (must have taken all night, lol) and then cosied on down in it, then slept in it and not moved for several hours. He can't push the bedding through the bars because there are no bars other than in the roof. It could be that she's just making herself a cosy bed - but as I say our hammy is male and as he is our first I have no experience with females, sorry.

Thankyou the reply, I just went and checked on her to find her sleeping on the bottom with no sawdust. The bedding was away from, so basically she has no nest. All of her substrate was on my carpet, haha. I think she is just a weird one ;D

Hamsters do the strangest things!
Cinders could be in heat and having a mood day!
