    It's not a "problem" so much as a nutritional requirement. So yeah, you need to dust food with D3/Calcium and a multivitamin supplement like other amphibians and reptiles. Not every meal.

    Here are couple of articles that you may like to read about amphibian diet and the use of UV-B as well as nutritional supplements.
