Yes they're OK to feed.

Are they good for them or just okay? Also what about the alien looking ones?

The beetle is made out of the same stuff as the worms so I fugure they should be just as good. I don't know what you mean by the "alien" looking ones.

he means the process from worm to beetle. if its okay to feed that alien looking thing to his dragon. To answer, yes they are fine. i have an over abundance of supers and i feed them to my dragons all the time.

I am assuming the aliens are the pupa or chrysalis. Weird looking things aren't they?

The beetles I wouldn't recommend feeding them to young dragons or too many as they do have a very hard exoskeleton but other than that, they are a great treat. Handling the beetles will result in a rather foul smell left in your hands...a defense musk they exude.

They are a great treat for rats too...fun watching my rats chase after these beetles.
