Not sure if they are good for chameleons or not. got like 6 to 10 of them so was curious if anyone has fed them to chameleons before
My meal worms turned into beatles, can i feed them to my chameleon??

They'll have a hard shell and might taste different but you could try it. Your cham may not eat more than the first one.
it dependes
your chameleon may love them or decline them immediately. most lizards love the beetles as soon as they come out of pupation when there white and soft and not the hard shelled black/dark red beetles. I prefer to keep the beetles in a cage so they can make more mealworms if you allow more of you worms to turn into beetles you can breed your own mealworms and save money. hope this helps

Many chams love them,they ( mealworms ) can be fed to your chams at any stage of there life cycle but should be used only as a treat and only make up a small part of there diet. In my opinion 10 to 15% at most but as with anything opinion's vary so just look up mealworms keeping and breeding and you can decide for your self. Btw they are very easy to breed ( I have 3 colonies ) and will never need to buy them again except to introduce new blood so to speak.
Hope this helps
