Can chameleon eat the mealworm beetles?

Can he eat the beetles and are they good for him?

Of course they can eat them, however, I would not recommend them as a regular part of their diet.

yes, can and very likely will. They can even be nutritious as they are easily gutloaded. A natural chameleons diet will include beetles. BUT too many could potentially cause digestive issues, so dont make these a large portion of the diet.

OK thanks maybe ill let some meal worms turn into them and let him have some.

those are nasty and crunchy as can be. I seen one for the 1st time recently and they are some creepy crawlers. I had a gecko eat one. Then it never ate another.

When you kill them they stink so badly.

I discovered my panther chameleon finds these beetles his favorite treat. If I want him to eat in front of a guest, I just feed him a mealworm beetle. I normally don't feed them because I use them to make more mealworms...

Can someone please help me. My mealworms are turning into larve and eventually beetles. Is it a good thing to feed my chameleon these beetles?
