The diet of the aye-aye consists mostly of the seeds of ramy (Canarium spp.) and other plants, but also beetle and moth larvae found under the bark of trees, cankerous growths on plants, nectar, and various crops, such as coconuts, lychees, and mangos.

In the wild, aye ayes eat seeds and insects. It's favorite food is the seeds of ramy (Canarium spp.). However, it also eats seeds of other plants native to Madagascar, as well as moth and beetle larvae (burrowing in trees), bamboo, nectar, coconuts, lychees, and mangos.
