  • Marmot Diet: What Do These Rodents Eat?
    Marmots are herbivores, which means they eat plants. Their diet consists mainly of:

    * Grasses: They are a big fan of various grasses, especially in the spring and summer.

    * Forbs: These are non-grassy flowering plants. They'll munch on clover, dandelions, and other wildflowers.

    * Herbs: They enjoy eating leaves, stems, and flowers from various herbs.

    * Roots and tubers: They'll dig for roots and tubers when other food sources are scarce.

    * Fruits and berries: They enjoy fruits and berries that are in season.

    Marmots are opportunistic eaters and will take advantage of whatever food is available in their environment. They tend to eat more during the summer months to build up fat reserves for hibernation in the winter.
