I started a thread a while ago about trying to figure out how much hard radiation would be necessary to support a human sized organism.
The consensus was around 11 millions rads per day.

I suppose with how humans generally make vitamin D using sunlight, these aliens could need hard radiation for similar necessary but non-caloric "foods".
Or OP could just rubber up the science without many getting upset.
