Can Beardies and Skinks eat Mealworm Beetles?

We are going to start breeding Mealworms for when I get my Blue Tongues, but if we want to change their eating variety can they eat the Mealworm Beetle or the Pupae?

Thanks.

I have read that the beatles are no good for eating, due to their tough shells. Id say the pupae would be fine though.

I've never fed the beetles to my beardies, only the worms. When my mealworms morph into beetles, I chuck them out.

Okay thanks, I have a 8 month old beardie, I don't think he could handle them just yet, I will give them to my blueys when I get them though.
