Hi,
I've read that putting calcium on feeder mice for female alterna had a noticeble difernce in hatchling rate. Has any one done this with other species ?, I was wondering if its a good idea to supplement calcium on gravid females meals ?, and if so what kind of calcium or what product ?, I've never done this before and was wondering if its a good idea, or can help with the aid of producing all good eggs and a better hatch rate ?, well thanks for your time and lookforward to your responses on this.

ps, I'm mainly focusing on pyromeleana, if it would help.
