Can bearded dragons eat superworm pupae?

[colbsteroon]

I had an idea about beeding superworms and the eggs and waiting the superworms to grow is a bit time consuming (and the beetles has a high chance of impacting) so i was wondering if your could just feed a bearded dragon superworm pupae. plus they look more filling

also when they just turn to beetles and are still white would their shells be soft?

You could, I don't know necessarily how nutritious they are. I wouldn't feed the beatles, not even the recently morphed ones.

The pupae have barbs along their abdomen that can damage a lizard's mouth/throat; mealworms are similar, I had trouble feeding their pupae to some smaller skinks. Personally I wouldn't risk it.

The fresh white beetles are very soft
