Mealworm beetles
Does anyone use mealworm beetles as feeders? I have some 'extra' beetles and would rather use them as feeders for a leopard gecko vs tossing them out. I'm thinking the gecko would eat them, unless there is a reason not to feed them?
Thanks

They have a noxious taste... do not feed them to your reptile. They are breeders, and NOT feeders for a reason.

My leos go nuts for them. I had no idea they tasted bad. I guess they didn't get the memo. lol

Not all bugs taste bad Silkworms really are not that horrible, its the chewing your have to get used to. Crickets though are horrible.

Yeah, id just be worried about the Chiten amount, mealworms already have a high shell to meat ratio.

Re: Mealworm beetles
My turtle likes them and never spits them out. He really likes the cream filled white alien stage.
Too many pets to list!
