If your gecko is young then no and some times the beetle can chew through the geckos stomach and kill it so i would say no

ok dont say stuff thats totally not true.. the beetle or worm or what ever cannot chew through a leos stomach.. first its gotta live past the leo chomping it up and then it has to survive the stomach acid long enough to be able to chew through it... anyways no dont feed them the beetles they have too hard of a shell and if your getting alot of beetles from your mealies store your mealies in the fridge so they dont pupate and change to beetles as fast. or just toss the things outside unless you want to breed the beetles then do that
