Often, mammals (and other animals) that feed on invertebrates are called insectivores because they feed primarily on insects.
Apart from these, there are several mammals that feed on invertebrates. Monotremes commonly do so, and these are the platypuses and echidnas. Many small dasyurids (carnivorous marsupials) also feed on invertebrates. These include animals such as phascogales and numbats. Other mammals that feed on invertebrates include anteaters and hedgehogs.
