will bearded dragons eat box elder bugs?

[MarkS]

It's that time of year again when the box elder bugs are coming out of hibernation by the gazillions. I was just wondering if anyone has tried feeding them to their bearded dragons? Mine eat mostly roaches and greens but I was thinking about trying the box elders since there are so Dag nab many of them Anyone else try this? ?

They are Extremely toxic and will kill your Dragon in a heart beat!

really? I've read that they taste pretty bad but aren't actually toxic. I guess I won't try it.

Google it I swear! I was just trying to help, Lightning bugs are really really bad for them.

Well that's disappointing. Not that I need the food, but it would have been kind of a small moral victory to have something chomp up those nasty little bugs that get into EVERYTHING.
