Content: The star-nosed mole can capture and eat its prey faster than the human eye can follow the action. 3. A mole’s diet consists mostly of earthworms. Moles won’t eat your plants and bulbs. Moles are carnivores. ( This means you should be careful with your fingers should you ever pick up a mole, if you don’t want your finger to be a dying mole’s last meal.) A mole’s saliva contains a toxin that can paralyze but not kill earthworms. Sometimes the mole eats the earthworm right away, and sometimes the mole stores the earthworm in a specially constructed burrow for later consumption. Researchers have found tunnels filled with over a thousand earthworms in them. Before a mole eats an earthworm, it will pull the worm between its paws to extrude the collected soil from the worm’s gut.
