Re: list of calcium foods?
Eggshells, calci-sand, coral, oyster shells, broccoli and other dark green veggies are the most common ones. Any shellfish with the shell on (dried baby shrimp, shrimp tails/exos, etc.) also does great, or any hard bugs (mealworms, bloodworms, silkworms, crickets, etc.) Krill also is great, but I've never tried it.

Re: list of calcium foods?
It's a good idea to feed this to them all the time, as they need it all the time, it's just that they really need it even more before and after molting.
