They can never have too much calcium, if they eat more than they can use they just excrete the excess, but if you use a diet based on good quality pellets they should get most if not all the calcium they require from those.
I would just give them a chunk of cuttlebone and make sure they have a supply of calcium rich veg, such as Duckweed.
