Some tegus won't touch insects. Try mixing them in with the turkey and see if he will take them. Are you offering them live or dead?

Mine won't eat insects unless I kill them for her. I think she's just lazy.
Try wrapping them in the meat, that's what I do!

Best bet would be the tarantula and the beardie I'd say, though my dragon never like lobsters, and neither did I. I much prefer a colony of dubia to any other feeder instect that I've encountered.
