You don't need to feed blue tongues live food, however I would stay away from the raw chicken and cat food, and give a wider variety of plant material, such as collard/mustard greens, strawberries, squash, etc... For animal protein boiled ground turkey is the healthiest thing. I boil little "turkey balls" and then freeze them and thaw them as I need them, it's very convenient. They also relish snails (shell and all, you can get them live at most pet shops).
Check out bluetongueskinks.net for a ton of information and a decent forum.

One addition to snake girl's post. I'd cut back on the raw eggs (at least the whites) if you feed them often. They interfere with B12 absorption. Cooked eggs are fine.
this is the first blue-tongue that I've ever heard of that doesn't eat crickets!
