i am new to tegus myself, but from the research i did before i bought mine (which i think everyone should do before buying any pet)them eating fruit is a good thing when giving them a varied diet. mine love pinkies, crickets, grasshoppers.at the minute they wont take fruit but they are only young and we is getting used to each other. good look with your tegus.

cricket feed thing not sure about.
