The best one who may be able to help you is @kinyonga.
In the meantime, I would hold off on giving that calcium. Better to err on the side of caution.

Thank you missskittles

First of all ...I am not a vet and anything I say comes from my own experiences and what I've read and learned along the way.

She really needs to see a vet. A vet can weigh her to tell you how much calcium to give her and how often. The treatment for MBD usually involves liquid calcium with proper supplementing, feeding/gutloading of the insects, appropriate temperatures and proper UVB to bring things back into line.

Can you please tell me SPECIFICALLY what supplements you use and how often for each. I'm looking mostly for the calcium, phos, D3 and vitamin A content and whether the vitamin A is prOformed (beta carotene) or prEFORMED (palmitate, retinol, retinyl, etc).

How much have you been feeding her...like how many insects and which insects each week?

Answering th,e questions in the how to ask for help thread near the top of the health forum would help too.
