I hear of people feeding their full grown bds hissing roaches and stuff and I was wondering if you can feed meal beetles?

Yeah, when they morph into big beetles , I give them to my Dragon and he crunches them right up, very excitedly !!

I find they (the beetles have a pungent smell, anyone ever smell a superworm beetle? WHEW ! Nasty !

None of my other lizards will eat them ! Just the Dragon.

I feed Puff mealworm beetles. He LOVES them. He will go flying from his basking spot to wherever we drop it in, and its gone. Doesnt even really get a chance to hit the ground. They make great treats, I think.
