∙ 12y agoThere are special emu pellets or feeds that can be bought for them from feedmills. Emus are omnivores, meaning they are not too picky about what they will eat. In addition to pelleted food emus will also eat large amounts of grasses, shrubbery, broadleaf weeds, and other items available in their pasture. Like any other animal some emus like the tastes of different things, for example my emu Boomer loves to eat catfood, earthworms, canned corn, and romaine lettuce, while flattly refusing to eat apples, which emus at a nearby zoo found irresistable. In general emus love there greens, but each one has its own special set of favorite foods.
