Calcium/multi vitamin supplements

Does anyone know how much calcium powder/multi vitamin supplements would be efficient for a juvenile bearded dragon? My beardie is about 4 months old and I dust her crickets once sometimes twice a day with calcium powder. I know calcium can be deadly if they get too much but my beardie seems very happy and healthy. I am just not sure if this will cause problems down the line. Also how often should I give her multi vitamin? I have a liquid multi vitamin that I usually drop a couple of drops on her wax worms and feed her.

I would dust bugs at every feeding by shaking them in a small cup with supplement so they have a light, even coat. I would offer multivitamin on the bugs instead of calcium once or twice per week. Salad doesn't need supplementation. I would also avoid using waxworms as they are high in fat. Healthier options for worms include black soldier fly larvae, silk worms, and horn worms.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
