I am thinking about getting a Black and White Argentine Tegu in the near future and was curious about their diet. I have been doing some research and have read mixed readings about them eating insects.

Is it possible to NOT feed a young Tegu crickets?
Diet look like:

Mice
Mealworms
Raw eggs
Waxworms
Raw ground turkey
Fresh fruits

and have a multivitamin once a week and Calcium/Vitamin D supplement on each meal.

I know as adults they wouldn't really eat crickets but as young do they HAVE TO or is other foods just as good for them?

Thanks
