As long as Peaches is already on a regularly balanced diet, you shouldn't need to give that many calcium supplements. One thing on its own in addition to her regular food should be more than enough. You can also scramble some eggs at home and mix it with a little flour into a paste and offer small amounts to Peaches if you wish to avoid feeding commercial brands that contain sugar or extra ingredients.
