Calcium w/o D3

[Vanjan]

Hi Guys,

When you are talking about "plain" calcium it is pure Calcium-Carbonate, right?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_carbonate

I spent couple of hours looking at available online pet stores in Hungary and they only have Ca+D3 from many sellers like Exoterra, JBL, Tetra but all of them contains D3 or Phosforus.

So i went to the pharmacy and asked for Calcium powder. first they wanted to sell me calcium phosphate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_phosphate)
But in the next place i found calcium carbonate. Its a very fine powder, sticks well to all feeders and costs 1.5$ per 20g.

Is this OK for every day dusting?

Honestly, just save yourself the guess work and get what's right: http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Reptile-Calcium-without/dp/B000UJPHL8
