Country:
If your calcium supplementation doesn't include exposure to proper UV-B light, or Vitamin D3, they'll never absorb the calcium properly. Leg tremors and muscle twitching are among the first signs of MBD. Could you give us some more details about the behaviour, as well as your set up? With more to work with, we might be able to give you some decent help. However, if you think it's a health concern, get him to a vet, don't mess around with home remedies.

If you don't have a UVB bulb buy solar drops it works miracles.
