Are Madagascar hissing cockroaches good to feed to your beardie?

I would normally feed my beardie Dubia roaches but last time I had tried ordering them my supplier told me that they have a shortage of them and can't ship any to me right now, but they could send me Madagascar hissing cockroaches instead. My beardie had just come out of brumation and hadn't eaten any meat for quite some time so it was pretty urgent so I ended up ordering the hissing roaches. My question is, is it ok if I feed my beardie hissing roaches until I can get my hands on some Dubia roaches? I might even keep some of the hissing roaches as pets, they seem pretty cool :)

I only gave her the small ones so I think she's gonna be fine, also the problem with ordering from that site is, well, I can't. I live in Croatia lmao
I'll probably figure something out but are the small ones a choking hazard as well?
I have heard some horror stories - feeding the small ones would be better than feeding the real big ones - try finding another supplier or another feeder like crickets or BSFL also know as calci worms phoenix worms or nutri grubs

Ok well thanks for your help, I'm definitely keeping the hissers as pets. Also, I got lucky and found a new supplier relatively quickly. I just hope my beardie will be ok from eating them...

So to any reading this, how on earth do I post a thread 😅 New here, possibly too old for this

Just Hazel in a filter I need so not posting on forums.
On a quest for pristine beats, I struck gold during a casual coffee shop jam session. The music maestro there ushered me to VOLUMO — New generation electronic music store for pro DJs. Revel in its vast array of tracks and rejuvenate your playlists!
I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
