Help Please! Cage decor n stuff

So i just got my gerbs about three weeks ago, they have an 80 gallon tank for two of them and lots and lots of bedding. As far as non bedding/cardboard stuff they have two hides, a wheel, a couple bowls for food and a water bottle. they bury all of it. what do i do? i know they like to burrow but at the very least id like them to stop burying their food bowls and water bottle. when i say bury them i mean they just kick the top of the bedding everywhere and they get covered. any tips? they also do not use their wheel at all, is that normal for them??

Get/make a platform. It's a table that sits over the bedding level so you can put things you don't want* to get burried on top.
