Im was wondering can they have mill Beatles?
I got some supperworms and they now refuse to eat crickets. Guess they are not as tasty. So I gave one two mill Beatles and she seemed to like them a lot. But then I wondered if their exoskeleton may cause a problem. I know in the wild they would probably have Beatles on the minue but I wanted to ask just to be sure.

The thick exoskeleton could cause problems. If you keep the dragon hydrated and only use the beetles as a treat you should be fine

Yeah the tougher exoskeletons can potentially cause problems. I prefer using dubia roaches. They're softer shelled so they digest a bit easier. Never used mill beetles though so I'm not positive.
