beetles resulted from mealworms are ok to feed the chams?
are they good quality food? or not ?
 
well feed them off as they first emerge and sorta white in colour and soft. I wouldn't give too many "mature" beetles as a regular feeder they are quite hard... But a few here and there won't hurt. hope this helps.
 
thank you for answering,ill keep that in mind
does anyone else feed mature beetles to their chams?

Yes, you can offer the beetles to your chameleon. IMHO mealworms should form no more than 10% of your chameleons diet, and the same goes for the adult beetles. I would not offer these (or anything else for that matter) daily.

A varied diet is best. Aim to have no one feeder make up more than 20% of your chameleons diet if possible. Certainly any feeder that you provide more often than that ought to be of the best possible types, and well gutloaded.
