I would not suggest putting calcium powder in a dish in the cage for the same reason people shouldn't feed CGD without adding water. Hydration is important in absorbing all these nutrients, and I don't see just calcium powder doing much.

Adding calcium to CGD is NOT recommended, because over supplementing can be just as bad as under supplementing. There are however, special CGD formula which you can order online with a relatively safe, but extra amount of calcium mixed in. If you go to the Repashy homepage and click on the "store" link you can see a list of Repashy distributors. I normally use Gecko Ranch, and am fairly sure she carries the formulas with extra calcium added.
