Triceratops would have eaten low lying shrubs and what else was within reach. Grass did not exist in the Cretaceous period so Triceratops did not graze like a cow but was more like a rhinoceros in its eating habits.

Triceratops had large batteries of teeth and definitely chewed its food. This suggests that they ate tough vegetation. In addition, Triceratops's head was relatively low to the ground, so any plants that it ate would have to be relatively low growing for it to reach them, unless it used its horns to tip trees over on occasion. They may have eaten conifers, cycads, palms, or ferns. They found their food by traveling and searching for edible plants, and Triceratops knew which plants it could eat.

A vegetarian dino. It looks at all the stuff growing all around and chooses what it likes then goes to grazing much like cows do, and most of the plants back then were fern like greens.

Triceratops was an herbivore, or plant eater. They may have eaten conifers, cycads, palms, or ferns, and they would have gotten food by foraging for whatever plants were edible to it.
