Rat Marmite? (Or is that an English joke? - you guys in the colonies ever heard of Marmite?) (Did I just hear 23 Australians say "Vegemite"?) Anyway, I'm not so sure. They're omnivores, their diet's a bit too all-inclusive. The omnivores and carnivores people eat are usually raised on non-meat diets (eg Cantonese dogs, and the Thai rats are veggies). That aside, you're right, and not just a supplement. Farley Mowatt discovered in northern Canada that the wolves he was studying, far from wiping out the caribou herds as alleged, had a summer diet of grass rats, or something like rats. To prove it was possible he went on the same diet himself, catching his share of rats every day and eating them. He couldn't take the idea of eating the bones and skins though, as the wolves did (they just gobbled them down whole), but he stayed well-fed and healthy just the same.
