My Beardie accidentally ate a superworm beetle

[Logan41951345]

I was feeding Blaze (my beardie) superworms and one of them got away from blaze and grew into a beetle. Today, I saw the beetle in her cage and squished it and heard a crunch (I’m not a superworm breeder). Then when I was going to get paper towels to pick up the beetle, it was still alive and then blaze ate it. Should I schedule a vet appointment, or wait for her to poop? I know that the shell is hard for them to digest.

How old is you beardie?
Mine eats them once in a while with no problems, but Rusty is adult, I'm not sure about a baby digesting, but it's a bug i think i would give him couple days before vet is needed

I wouldn't worry,
I'm sure they eat bigger bugs than that in the wild,
Just make sure you watch him and if he isn't pooping, take action,

yeah, you're fine, my is about 3 years old(got in January 2019 when it was intended as a Christmas 2018 gift) and I once fed him a darkling beetle(the adult form of mealworms/superworms) after I chased it down throughout the bathroom and my room in the area of my plushies shelf. I did feed it to him and he ate, was I think maybe 2 or so months ago, no ill effects

Only things that’s wrong with them is they are a little “spicy”! They spray some kind of foul smelling stuff from their shoulders. But otherwise fine.
