supplements same for pygmies?

Ok I have been experimenting with supplementing schedules with my pygmies for a couple months. So far all is good, but I am wondering if anyone here who has pygmies can offer maybe a suggested supplementing schedule? I feed 4x a week 2 with vitamins and 2 with calcium w/ d3. Mostly I want to be sure I am not over doing it with the d3. I have searched, fairly unsuccessfully, for a standard dusting schedule for pygmies. Any senior members who have a good one?:)
 
Some people use the same supplementation as bigger species:
Every feeding with calcium (no phos or D3)
Multivitamin once every 2 weeks
Calcium with D3 once every 2 weeks

And some people supplement less often. I fall in the less often category personally, but there is too little research on pygmies available to know which is better. Mine are thriving and reproducing very well on a reduced schedule - I use calcium without D3 1-2x a week and a multivitamin once a month and don't ever use Ca w/D3. That's my schedule, right or wrong.

I think you're overdoing it with yours because that's way too much D3 and multivit for even the bigger species. I would drop down to at least the bigger species supplementation schedule with the multivit and Ca w/D3 only 2x a month each.
