Leopard geckos/Mealworms

Question
My question is if your Leopard can eat the beetles that the mealworms eventually turn into?

thank you for your time

Answer
Hi Ron,
They can eat them but I've never had luck with mine eating them.  I like keeping the beetles and allowing them to lay eggs...the eggs hatch and then there are more mealies to feed the geckos.  I feed the beetles and mealies fruits, veggies and greens...healthy bugs mean healthy leos!!
