I’ve heard that many people use a mix of cypress mulch and eco earth as their substrate with success! It boosts humidity and retains it better than aspen for sure. (I don’t know if this is good for bioactive). If she still has stuck shed maybe give her a bath and try to get it off? -haven’t done this myself-. Keep it shallow so she isn’t actually swimming, as well as warm. Do not peel skin off of it isn’t ready.This is just an idea, I have no experience with doing this so if someone else does please correct me if I’m wrong. To boost humidity you can gently mist her enclosure, but don’t get t too wet as this can cause scale rot and mold the aspen! I would feed her in the enclosure for sure, less stress and less chance of regurgitation!! It won’t make her any more cage aggressive.

    If I am incorrect in any of my advice someone with more experience is definitely welcome to correct me. Welcome to the forum and I wish you and your little girl nothing but the best.
    Ok I'll get more hides, any recommendation. and my humidity ranges from 40%-60% never lower but sometimes a little higher when I accidently over mist. But i do mist the cage daily maybe 2-3 times a day, once in the morning and once at night and in the afternoon. I'm also going to maybe cover half the enclosure with saran wrap to hold in some more humidity. I measure her humidity with both an analog and a digital thermometer/hydrometer.

    And I heard about the bath! It was about an inch of water in a tub and I'll do it before the weekend so hopefully that'll help her.

    And thank you for the feeding tip! I'll try to feed her in cage this weekend and see how it goes.
