Wanted to try my 5 month old beardie with some mealworms as they are quite cheap at my local store, do you reckon I should? Will it hurt him? I've given him like 5 in the past 2 days, will he be ok?
He's currently on a staple diet of crickets and greens daily.
Nay. No nutritional value, they're absolutely 99% chitin. The only thing they're good for is impaction. I wouldn't feed one to my baby, and especially at 5 months.
Hopwever, by setup I think brandon meant heat, UV, staple feeder, etc.
Meh occasional snack, maybe. Staple feeder, definitely not for a bearded dragon. If you do maybe 5 a week or so, it probably wouldn't hurt. They last a long time in the fridge, and a container of 20 mini-mealworms lasted me about 2 months (always forgot about them) when Darwin was about 8". I didn't buy them again even though Darwin seemed to enjoy them cuz it just didn't seem worth it to me.
Make sure your basking temps are about 105F and you have a good UVB, and it should be ok.
I have to agree, its a waste of money. They'd need way too many to equal one cricket to make it cost effective plus the more they eat of them the more shell they have to force out the other end...ouch!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
