Content: Moles also sometimes eat small mice and ratsthat wander into their tunnels. 4. Moles have voracious appetites. The old saying that a mole eats ten times its weight in earthworms is not true. Actually, moles only eat 70 to 100% of their weight in earthworms each every day. A mole deprived of food may die of starvation in just a few hours. 5. In rare instances, moles may help transmit human diseases. There are no infectious diseases that humans acquire directly from moles. Ticks that jump from moles to household pets and other wildlife and then to humans, however, sometimes transmit hantavirus or tick-born encephalitis.
