younglings can eat mealworms but the small ones however if they are fed to much that can get impaction and die, i have had this happen to me, to my smallest beadie but my biggest is about 10months old and eats pinkie mice now
^^^^ why do we even bother, mealworms are not good for your dragons. They are like lollies, chocalate and Maccas all rolled into one, very little nutritional value and can cause fatty liver disease if fed all the time. As far as pinky mice are concerned, they should only be fed to recovering females after egg laying and even then only one or two. Please refrain from giving crap advice when clearly you have no idea.
Mealworms are a viable part of any diet if fed in moderation.
Did you know that adult crickets have more chitin than mealworms do?
There seem to be a lot of myths concerning mealworms and you certainly aren't helping dispel them.
OP, if you were to feed mealworms try feed them when they're are pupating (in a cocoon like state) and like stated above, don't replace crickets with them, but one or two here and there are NOT going to hurt.
Even GeckoDan recommends to feed only 10% of an animals diet comprising mealworms, that's not 0% though.
I have had no issues with feeding dragons mealworms. They are great as part of a mixed varied diet.
Why does that not suprise me?
That is your opinion.
