The pupae are really juicy, but don't move so unless you tong feed the T it will not eat it. The beetles have a hard exoskeleton, and can chew on a spider after it moults which is why I always tong feed any beetles I might have to feed. Honestly it is really easy and cheap to set up a mealworm farm, the only downside is in my area during the winter all production stops and I have wait until temperatures warm up so the eggs in the substrate hatch and turn into mealworms. You can often have 2-3 generations of mealworms in a long summer though.</p></blockquote><p></p>
