My Sulcata is about 2 months old or so.

I was wondering about the substrate, He is on paper towels right now and is doing fine. I want to move him to a soil/sand mix and was wondering what was best.

I have a few brick's of eco earth laying around from some of my other reptiles, would this work? Or would it be best to use some kind of top soil?
and about the sand, is the sand a must? if so, what's the mix ratio? 3/4's soild, and 1/4 sand?

and also, i have repti calcium with D3 by Zoo med. I havent gave him any yet but would this be a good calcium supplement for a young Sulcata? (it looks to have a red footed tortoise on the front) http://www.zoomed.com/db/products/EntryDetail.php?SearchID=4&DatabaseID=2&EntryID=2


thank you all in advance.
