Some people supplement but most don't and its certainly not necessary. The main thing is to vary it so that they take in lots of different nutrients. I give salmon oil and vitamin e (not every day) but thats just to give their coat and skin that extra something, its not really dietary. It is good to give a digestive support at first though, to help them. So what your doing is great. I give the odd bit of live yogurt, which is crammed with great digestive enzymes. Stick to the same meat/protein for at least a week or so, until your sure she is ok with it (i.e solid poos etc) then you can switch and yes in the long term its best to use more than one protein source. Treats, I use all sorts of things for treats, any food in a little piece can be a treat. Commercial treat wise though, I don't feed many but if I do then I stick with all natural ones. Stuff like dried liver, fish etc is great.
