Can you recommend RMB/calcium source other than poultry

Liesl (9 months, ~60-65 lbs.) is doing well on her raw diet, but will not eat raw poultry of any type. I've been feeding her meaty pork rib bones and hamburger and she does eat those and the bones, getting roughly the equivalent of a chicken thigh bone in every other meal (thus about 8 per week).

Is this enough calcium?
Should I use supplemental calcium?
What other sources of edible bone do you suggest?

She also gets a whole raw tilapia about once per week.

Pork neck, lamb, rabbit (softer and smaller bones like found in poultry).
