 Calcium question

i have a leopard gecko who is very sweet. i got her about a month ago at petco and i love her. i do have a calcium question though... i put a dish of mealworms in her cage once a week and leave it in all week. i put calcium dust in one week and herpitive multivitamins the next. is this okay or do i need just a small dish of calcium in there all the time?

 Calcium question

You should have a dish of pure calcium at all times. Vitamins and D3 should be given once or twice a week.

You need to feed daily so you can properly supplement the gecko’s food.
~Pure calcium in the dish at all times.
~Dust their meal 4 days a week with pure calcium powder
~Dust with calcium with D3 2 times a week
~You don’t have to dust with multivitamins, but if you wanted to, you could 1 time a week.
