I give Calcuim with D3 to my 2 stars but I don't give them everyday. They get a sprinkling once a week to week and a half. When they were smaller (under a year old) I did sprinkle on their food everyday.

I feed my Stars mainly on Mazuri which already contains Vit D3 which is why I put calcium powder maybe twice a week. A lot also depends on what you feed them and if their food already contains a lot of calcium. You dont want calcium build up.
