No they are omnivores.
The platypus is a carnivore: it mostly feeds on annelid worms, insect larvae, freshwater shrimp and crayfish (known in Australia as "freshwater yabby") that it digs out of the riverbed with its snout or catches while swimming.
The platypus is known overseas as the "duckbilled platypus" or just the "duckbill", but in Australia it is just commonly called the 'platypus'.The platypus is sometimes known as the duckbilled platypus, because its bill loosely resembles that of a duck, and is of a shape not found on any other mammal.
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
The platypus should not be called anything else. It is just a platypus. It is not a duckbilled platypus, or any other such misnomer.

No. Carnivores are meat-eating animals that hunt or prey on other animals. Lions are carnivores that are mammals but do not lay eggs.Egg-laying mammals are called monotremes. The only monotremes are the platypus and the two species of echidna.
A platypus is a carnivore because it eats tiny crustaceans and larvae that live on the bottom of creeks and rivers.
