Rep-Cal (Phosphorus free) w/ Vitamin D when the herd is inside.

i went with what the breeders used/recommended for my redfoot (rep-cal calcium and rep-cal herptivite vitamins), since i figured that it must be okay if they've been getting good results, and plus he was already used to eating it (so i wouldn't have any worries about him not liking it if i switched to something else).

As far as phosphorus-free-d3-free calcium goes, arent they all the same, just calcium carbonate?

You would think so, wouldn't you? Most people seem to recommend Rep-Cal, although I don't know if that's based on scientific testing or personal results. Maybe someone else can answer your question for you.
