I've never feed my Tegu a single insect and he has grown into a robust and healthy adult...

That said, roaches and several other insects are packed full of exactly what a young/growing Tegu thrives on. They are a great asset to your young Tegu's diet. I personally just find them too much of a pain in the butt to cultivate. Plus within 4~6 months your Tegu will be too large for bugs to be used as any level of 'staple' food.
