African Fat-Tailed Gecko Supplements: Calcium, D3, and Multivitamin
Quick answer
Dust feeders lightly with calcium at most feedings for juveniles and every other feeding for adults, keep a plain calcium dish available, and use a multivitamin about once a week. Use D3 less often if you run UVB.

Calcium
Insects are low in calcium, so dusting is essential to prevent metabolic bone disease.
Multivitamin
Once a week at most, because vitamin A and D3 can build up.
Calcium dish
A small dish of plain calcium lets the gecko regulate its own intake. Replace it if it gets damp.
