Mealworm beetles

Have you guys tried feeding your leos newly hatched mealworm beetles?

I tried giving one to picky Eclair and she ate 7 in less than a minute, absolutely loved them! Donut liked them a lot too :> I don't breed my beetles because I don't really have space for that right now but they are definitely really good as food!

Alot of geckos don't like them. I assume they taste bad. I raise mealies so the beetles get pampered so they produce lots of eggs but the pupae are fair game! Mine love them more than the actual larvae.

Wow! None of mine will touch the pupae!

I did. But my late gecko only ate it on two occasions. After that he grew out of it i guess
