rule #1: be kind
Arent most/all rodents omnivorous? They might prefer to eat only grains or what not, but if pushed to starvation will readily eat meat to survive?
Edit- Seems I missed what's remarkable about this, is they are actively hunting the Voles, not just being opportunistic.
Pretty much. I havent read past the abstract, in fairness.
Copy\paste this for any organism capable of digesting another in order to survive. The hunting behavior is fascinating to see in squirrels, though.
