No. Snowy owls are carnivorous, eating only meat, not plant matter like bear berries.
Snowy owls primarily feed on small mammals such as lemmings, voles, and rabbits. They are also known to eat birds, fish, and occasionally insects. Snowy owls are opportunistic predators and will adapt their diet based on what is available in their environment.
Pesticides, in general harm most of the food chain, Snowy owls included. As the poisons are eaten by the intended 'victim' and that in turn is eaten by its hunter, so the ladder goes on until the very top predators are affected.
As with most owls, the mother stays and keeps the young warm, whilst keeping predators at bay. The father owl hunts continuously to keep his family fed, often lining the nest edge with prey that is at that time surplus to requirements. Once the young snowy owls are too demanding for the male snowy owl, and large enough to leave, the female snowy owl joins in the hunt and supply of fresh prey. Eventually, the young snowy owls are encouraged to chase their own prey, initially caught but not killed by the parent snowy owls.

Weaselfoxes and prairie dogs are not direct predators of snowy owls; rather, snowy owls are apex predators that primarily prey on small mammals, including rodents like lemmings and voles. Prairie dogs, being a type of burrowing rodent, can be part of the snowy owl's diet in certain habitats. Weaselfoxes, which are not a recognized species, could refer to a combination of weasels and foxes, both of which may compete for similar prey but do not typically prey on snowy owls themselves. Snowy owls, being large and powerful birds, are more likely to be at the top of the food chain in their ecosystem.
The other owls.
Most snowy owls don't have to avoid predators as very few other predators will attack an adult owl. They are large, strong fliers equipped with large talons and will turn on a predator if they can't out fly them. Predators do attempt to take snowy owl eggs and chicks. The nest site is fiercely guarded by both parents and the attackers become the attacked if they attempt to take an egg or chick.
