Anonymous Unregistered A	I have read they were herbivores. This info would be mistaken for a personal belief? I mean scientifically if they eat the small critters they are unmistakably omnivores right? Thank for helping my confusion. Last edited by kobra; 02/10/07 11:59 AM.

Anonymous Unregistered A	As angelskates said, they are omnivorous. They eat mostly plant material but eat bugs and small vertebrates when these are available - their breeding season in the wild corresponds to the increased availability of insects and small vertebrates.

Anonymous Unregistered A	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnivore So... It seems they are omnivore opportunistic feeders.
