regarding how frequently to give calcium ... it'd be a good investment to have some blood work done and find out what his calcium level is and that will give you a much more definitve answer ... it's gonna vary so much from ig to ig ... iZ also had a really rough 1st year of life til he moved in with me ... had blood work done after i'd had him about 6 mo and his calcium level was high enough just from diet alone ... enough so that i had to cut back on his collard greens (his FAV!) ...
especially if MBD is a concern, get the blood work ... if Elmo's phosphorus is too high, you need to know that too and can address that AND the calcium ...

oh yeah ... and

HOORAY for Elmo ~ eatin' by hisself!!!

grins,
