No. The platypus does not eat plants. Platypuses are carnivores. They are predators; they eat small water animals such as aquatic insect larvae of caddisflies, mayflies and two-winged flies, fresh water shrimp, annelid worms, yabbies and crayfish.

Platypus eggs are just a couple of centimetres in size - about the size of a grape. They average 11 mm in diameter. They are small, smooth and leathery, unlike birds' eggs, which are hard-shelled. They weigh just a few grams.
