Feeding Habbits
One common thought of moles is that they typically consume their own weight in food every 24 hours but this is an exaggeration. Studies have been performed that show moles actually eat about half of their body weight in food each day. When in captivity, moles will eat a wide variety of food items including liver, baby mice, mealworms, and maggots. However, they always tend to prefer earthworms to all other options.

Famous quotes containing the word feeding:
“When all who had money and leisure
Grew rural o’er ices and wines,
All pleasantly toiling for pleasure,
All hungrily pining for pines,
And making of beautiful speeches,
And marring of beautiful shows,
And feeding on delicate peaches,
And treading on delicate toes.”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
