Want this question answered?
A mouse is a primary consumer.
producer = grass primary consumer = grasshopper, rabbit secondary consumer = mouse tertiary consumer = snake, kookaburra top predator = eagle
ANSWER: The mouse is a Tertiary consumer, it consumes spiders, which consume grasshoppers, which consume grass. Making Grasshoppers primary consumers, spiders secondary consumers, and Mice Tertiary consumers.
Yes, it is because it eats grasshoppers which are primary consumers. So that makes a mouse a secondary consumer.
producer<--- primary consumer<--- secondary consumer<--- tirtiary consumer
"primary consumer or second-dary= i think it;s second-dary" he's right..or her.. IT's right, secondary, a mouse wouldn't eat a leopard.
Hawks can be either secondary or tertiary consumers, depending on the organism it eats at any particular time. If it eats an herbivore such as a mouse, then it is a secondary consumer. If it eats another carnivore such as a snake, then it is a tertiary consumer.
Coyotes are carnivores which means they're not primary consumers ex of primary consumer a rat, rabbit, squierl, mouse. Why are these primary consumers? They are the primary energy source of food for consumers because they collects all the nutrients for plants and later on get eaten to nurious a carnivora coyote is not either a primary or secondary consumer it is a tertiary consumer

True. Any animal that eats a herbivore can be called a secondary consumer. The reason for this is because a herbivore consumes plants (producers), so the herbivore is known as a primary consumer. The secondary consumer would feed on the primary consumer, which is why it's called a secondary consumer, and the herbivore is called a primary consumer. So the order is - The plant is the producer, the herbivore (which eats plants) is the primary consumer, the animal that eats the herbivore (the primary consumer) is the secondary consumer, and the animal that eats the secondary consumer (the animal that eats the herbivore) is known as the tertiary consumer. If you want to go even farther, the animal that eats the tertiary consumer is known as the Quaternary consumer. An example would be a flower (the producer) that is fed upon by a grasshopper (the primary consumer). A rat or mouse (the secondary consumer) feeds on the grasshopper, and a snake (the tertiary consumer) feeds on the mouse/rat. Finally, a hawk (the quaternary consumer) feeds upon the snake. Thus completing the cycle. A secondary consumer can also be a primary consumer too (a herbivore), if it's able to feed on a herbivore as well as plants. Laura~ This is absoulotley true. I was asking this question too, thanks again.
A secondary consumer is a animal that eats a primary consumer. For example, a snake eating a mouse. The snake would be a secondary consumer because it eats a primary consumer, the mouse . The mouse is a primary consumer because it eats a producer which would be anything that makes its own food, mostly plants. I do not know of and producer that are in the Michigan wetlands, but some might be duckweed or even lily pads.
