They say squirrels will only eat fish and meat if they are very hungry. I have a pet squirrel who has all the food in the world, and his very favorite thing to eat is cooked salmon. He has bad teeth and can not survive in the wild. He is the best pet I've ever owned.

Adult Nassau Groupers generally eat a diet of mainly fish (parrotfish, wrasses, damselfish, squirrelfish, snapper and grunts). Juveniles, on the other hand, eat a diet composed mainly of crustaceans (crab, stomatopod, hermit crab, panulirid lobster, and caridean and panaid shrimp). These juvenile groupers are usually found around coral clumps covered with macroalgae and over sea grass beds.
