Ok so I had that baby box last month & we were saying that desert box, T. o. luteola are carnivores as babies.
I had to tell you I've discovered they are not.
True they prefer more insect food than anything else but my vet has a couple right now & they are eating berries some days instead of bugs.

I just thought that was so interesting I had to post it.
I guess I brought it up so if anyone gets hold of a baby they should offer it something other than bugs just in case it wants to eat something different.
