Meat vs Crickets

Hey guys,
I have noticed that my 2 babies don't seem to show much interest in raw meat (ground turkey, chopped chicken liver, fresh chopped tuna), no interest in fruits or veggies... seems like their only real love is crickets and occasionally egg. Do their tastes change as they grow more? I had figured these would be things they'd eat from day one... are there other things you offer to your tegus? Tips/tricks to feeding them?

superworms, pinkies if big enough, roaches, shrimp, snail, zoomed canned foods. crickets arent that healthy and they need variety they should grow out of it a bit

So far I've fed mine (only had since last Sunday) eggs, hamburger,chicken,tuna and mangos and strawberries. Has eaten everything just not all of it..I might be over feeding. Gonna buy some pinkies this weekend and freeze them. Then give to her thawed to room temperature. Think I'll buy some chicken liver or hearts for tomorrow's breakfast. Good luck.
