the fact that mealworms can carry parasites would make me vote *No* ... (but i'm one who believes animal protein is baaaaad for igs as well ...)

also ...
it's always a good idea to take a fresh poop sample into the vet's and have it tested for any parasites ~ i'd say it's an especially good idea in your case ... :)
*most* igs *do* have some parasites (pin worms, etc) until they are treated ...

and, as you've discovered ~ *most* igs are perfectly happy being an "only ig" ~ or at the very least, having their "own room"!!!

best wishes!!
Bon.
