Best Answer

Platypuses are carnivores, but they eat only invertebrates. They do not eat mammals, birds, fish, reptiles or amphibians.

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.
