No.
Koalas are known for feeding almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves.
Besides gum leaves, they occasionally eat buds, flowers and bark of the particular species from which they get the leaves (which is not all eucalyptus species), while dirt also seems to supplement mineral deficiencies.
They do not eat fruits or berries of any description.
Thanks for the Question!

∙ 13y agoNo. Koalas feed almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves. Koalas live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. They also occasionally eat the gum tree blossoms.
Koalas will not eat all types of eucalyptus, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus. Preferred eucalyptus species vary depending on their locality, so that the species eaten by Victoria koalas will be different to those eaten by north Queensland koalas. They have been seen feeding in such varities as Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum.
