I bought some mealworms that have matured to beetles. Is it OK to feed the beetles to Leopard Geckos?

Well sometimes mealworms get out of the bowl in my leo cage. They mature to beetles and the leos see them but don't eat them. They just go after the crickets. It's like they don't like them. Katie P.s. maybe its just my geckos

I heard that sometimes that they will feed on them but they are hard to digest and not very healthy or gutloaded.

My leo has tried them... doesn't seem to like em tho. I also don't think that they are very healthy for them.

you can feed them but sparingly... they are edible but i have heard they are bitter tasting...my water dragon tried one once but spit it out... plus they have a hard outershell and aren't gutloaded
