Liz,
If it is just CaCO3 or bone meal and nothing else, then you are fine. Although in the future just pick up bone meal powder, it should be a lot cheaper compared to the tablets. Just put it in a dish and place it in the cage. Sometimes they will use it, sometimes they won’t. It is there in case they need it, nothing more. Your female is still small and laying eggs so she could use it. Dust as you normally would. Nothing complicated about it despite what others say, it’s just something extra. They are working harder then normal after all and you don’t have to worry about ODing from using too much multivitamins that comes along with the calcium. It could cause birth deformities among other things. Best of luck with her and keep me posted =).
