 Calcium d3 and non d3 question

I doing some research and found that they need calcium with d3 and without. Do you dust there food wth the cal with d3 and put the cal without d3 in a dish for them or the other way around?

Calcium w/ Vit. D3 can be toxic if used regularly. Since they are nocturnal. You onlu need to dust with D3 1-2 times per week. Pure calcium should be offered in a shallow dish in their enclosure 24/7. You also nned to dust their food with the pure calcium 1-2 times weekly. As adults (1+ years of age) you can dust every few days, as they do not need as much when they are hatchlings and juveniles.
