for new hatchlings I do the same as with adults (the only difference being the amount of feeds) ~ pure calcium available at all times in a pot; livefood dusted with pure calcium during the week; livefood dusted with nutrabol at weekends

I feed mealworms, so I just leave them in a 1:5 mix of nutrobal and calcium.

That way they're permanently dusted and the leos can eat more calcium if they need/want it.
