Best Answer

yes
Meerkats like to eat roots, bugs, and raw eggs. Since there aren't many edible plants and vegetation that are plentiful near their burrows, they eat pretty much anything. (Meerkats don't like travelling far from their homes.)

They also enjoy eating scorpions-- the poison doesn't harm them.

Yes, meerkats are omnivores. Their diet consists of a variety of insects, small mammals, reptiles, birds, fruits, and seeds. They are opportunistic feeders and will eat whatever is available to them in their environment.
