Best Answer

During most of the Mesozoic, the era when non avian dinosaurs lived, grass didn't exist. It first evolved in the late Cretaceous. However, their have been dinosaur coprolites (dung fossils) that contain grass. But grass only lived near streambeds during the Mesozoic, and wasn't abundant enough for any dinosaur species to solely eat grass.
