another daft question - calcium

[Matt]

Hiya guys, you're going to get sick of the sight of me soon. 

I've just been reading through some stickies in this section, & wanted to double check I've properly understoof the whole ca:p thing (I guess you get this a lot, I'm really sorry!  ).

If, for example, one day I was to feed a mixture of papaya (4., guava (0., peach (0.4), raspberries (1. and tangerine (1.2), with iams plus biscuits as a protein source, the ca:p ratio would be 2.0:1, right?

So on this particular day, would there be no need to supplement the mixture with glidercal? (I know that glider booster is still necessary) If that's right, how much lower would the calcium element need to be for there to be a need for extra calcium to be added?

Again, I'm really sorry about asking such a common question, I just want to make sure I'm 100% on all of this.

At 2.1 then it's not necessary to supplement with calcium.  Most people add calcium 2 - 3 times a week regardless, just to be sure their suggies are receiving adequate calcium.

Okay thanks, yeah I'll be supplementing their food with calcium a couple of times a week anyway just to make sure they're getting enough. It's just really hard to get your head round it all at first!
