Poor little thing! She is lucky to have you. I would not mist her as they really don't like to be sprayed. You mentioned a ceramic hide, you can soak the hide in water to keep humidity up, and keep the tank covered almost completely to keep the humidity up. There are some new humidity mats from one of the reptile companies that you can wet and just set in the cageand they can be reused. You could also use the viva type paper towels and wet them and put them on one side of the cage. Until the stump is healed completely I would not switch to dirt. Once everything is healed up you can put her on dirt and keep it nice and moist. When mine were little they were buried a lot, they really enjoyed their little dirt home. As far as introducing another ackie...I would be very careful. I would also get one about the same size, have plenty of space and plenty of food. You have to be vigilant and watch for any aggression. Good luck!
