I always put calcium and d3 in his food but I don't know if he's abosorbing enough of it or eating enough of it. What's the best way to give it calcium and d3 to him?

Thanks
Use just a little mixed in the food maybe twice a week.
Not enough to make the food taste bad.
I use Repashy.
(When I have babies)

My baby Sulcata wouldnt eat the one from petsmart (Repti-cal), but she loves "MINER ALL." Highly recommend.

my tort loves cuttlebone, but given the chance she will eat the entire thing in one sitting. I usually have to ration it

My redfoot loves banana, so I add CA to that and mash it in. She will eat anything in banana. :)
