newly hatched meal worm beetle feeder?

[zetagecko]

I have been checking past post on feeding newly hatched meal worm beetle and they all seem ok with it. My 2 geckos absolutely love eating them and I have fed them from time to time as treats when the beetle are newly hatched and still do not have hard shells. Anyone have the same experience?

I've been curious about this as well, since I've been upset about pupating mealworms and having to buy more. Is it safe to feed them the beetles?

i just keep the pupa let them turn into beetles and put them in a plastic shoe box with some oats or i use a mixer of oats and chicken feed and breed your own meal worms just put a peace of potato in there and thats the water. but i have tryed to feed my leos the beetles but they wont eat them im sure my beardy would though

Yes they eat them, probably not a great staple(if they were we would hear more about them.)
