I know this isn't the info you were looking for, but breeding crickets is such a pain, I'd rather pay for bulk crickets! You can definitely google "breeding crickets" and find some links to help you.
Something else to consider is offering other foods like superworms, silkworms, earthworms, ground turkey (with added calcium), pinkies/hoppers, eggs, and chicken pieces (again with added calcium). I'm a fruit feeder and also offered small pieces of fruit to my arg tegus at an early age.

Cricket are supposed to be kinda hard to breed and very nasty. The odor is one of the worst.
I tried to breed superworm one time. It's pretty easy and fast to turn them into beetle. The problem is to regulate the temperature to have eggs.
The best thing, would be to breed dubia roaches. They are big and a bigger source of food for Tegus.
But as laurarlf said, you could find other thing to feed your Tegu like Rodent, turkey, fertile eggs, fish filet, silkworm, superworm, butterworm, earthworm, hornworm, organs, fruits and vegetables.
