Do skinks eat dead mealworms

Skinks are generally insectivorous and may eat dead mealworms if they are small enough and the skink is willing to consume them. However, they typically prefer live prey due to the movement that stimulates their hunting instincts. While dead mealworms can provide some nutritional value, fresh, live food is usually more suitable for their dietary needs. Always ensure that any food offered is safe and appropriate for the specific skink species.
