Best Answer

Kangaroo rats are primarily granivores (seed-eaters) rather than herbivores. They eat seeds from the desert grasses in their habitat, as well as mesquite beans. Occasionally, they eat plant parts such as leaves and stems from some herbal plants. They have been known to eat fruit from desert succulents. Many of them eat insects, grubs and larvae.

Kangaroo rats are rodents. They are rat-like mammals with long tails and large feet like a miniature kangaroo.
