Is a prairie dog a herbivore?
Prairie dogs (genus Cynomys) are burrowing rodents native to the grasslands of North America. Prairie dogs are chiefly herbivorous, though they eat some insects. They feed primarily on grasses and, in the fall, broadleaf forbs. In the winter, lactating and pregnant females supplement their diet with snow for extra water. They also will eat roots, seeds, fruit and buds. ChaCha!
