The yabby is actually an omnivore. It'll it just about anything. There are a lot of stories implying that they are strictly vegetarians or strictly carnivores due to simple reasons. The main factor being that meat tends to pollute water really badly, and very quickly. It's for this reason aquarists generally are told to put them on a vegetarian diet. Not because they are, merely to preserve the water system. The carnivore conception often originates from people who catch yabbies from dams and waterways, because they use meat to catch yabbies. This ties back to the meat polluting the water more, and consequently attracting more yabbies to the lines and nets.
