There is some debate over whether Caecilians are in fact detritivores or carnivores. If they are detritivores then they eat detritus that they find in the soil. Most evidence of Caecilian feeding patterns seems to point to the conclusion that they are in fact carnivores who feed on insects (especially termites) and earthworms.
