While shrews primarily feed on insects, worms, and other small invertebrates, some larger species of shrew are known to occasionally eat small vertebrates, including mice. However, this behavior is not common, and their diet mainly consists of smaller prey. Shrews are more likely to hunt and consume small creatures that are easier to overpower.
