Beavers also eat aquatic plants, grasses, and mosses. These types are eaten less often and it may be a seasonal issue, as beavers don’t hibernate they need to eat year-round. Grasses and mosses are also used by beavers in combination with mud to glue their dams together. They are clever rodents.

Grasses and mosses won’t make good bait if you’re trying to trap a beaver. Even though they are part of the beaver’s natural diet, they aren’t drawn to it. It’s best to use scented wood like cedar (if it’s local).

These creatures certainly make use of their constantly growing teeth. A beaver’s natural diet is made by chomping, biting, and chewing away at any and all local vegetation.
