No. Don't do it. D is an easy vitamin to overdo and can run into problems. Pick up one of the many multivitamins available.(I use Centrum crushed tablets sprinkled lightly once a week on their food)
You also can't beat the natural source of sunlight or a good uv bulb such as the Active UV heat bulb.
