i cant get tweasal to be interested in mealies at all he wants nothing to do with them, so i was wondering what u guys think i should do and can i leave mealies out in his bowl because right now im trying to hand feed them to him he normally takes a few pieces of kibble from my hand but he wont even do that at the moment or do they turn into some sort of bug like a butterfly does? i really dnt want creepy beetles or something scurrying about, how does everyone feed their hedgies mealies ?

ok...this is going to sound and be REALLY gross, but if you break a live mealie in half, and take some of the gooey guts and put them on his nose, he'll lick his nose and be all like..."YUMMMY! Mealie candy!" Hopefully, that will help. If not, yes, put them in his bowl, and you may want to try some other insects.
