Hi Matt.
You want to use a phosporous free calcium supplement.
I recommend Rep Cal phosphorous free calcium with vitamin d3. You can find it at Petsmart along with Herptivite the vitamin supplement.
You only need to use it twice a week, not daily.

Indoor substrates I don't have experience with, but rabbit pellets aren't recommended. They're dehydrating, attract tiny mites (too small to see with the naked eye)and are notorius for causing eye problems.

Try these web sites for more info:
