Best Answer

most armadillos will eat bugs.

also I've been told that when domesticating armadillos you can feed them moist cat food, but i don't know wether they eat much meat in the wild.

from what i know the most common killer of armadillos is cars.

not much help, thought i'd give it a shot though.

The only natural predators of the armadillo are southern big cats. However, when scared, an armadillo will jump into the air. When the "predator" is a car, the armadillo becomes roadkill, rather than being saved.

Armadillos have few wild predators, but coyotes, dogs, black bears, bobcats, cougars, foxes and raccoons are reported to catch and kill armadillos in places where these predators occur. Hawks, owls and feral pigs may prey on armadillo young.

Armadillos primarily eat insects, grubs, earthworms, bird eggs and carrion but also include some vegetation, such as tubers, in their diet.
