The staple food of lemurs mainly includes fruits, leaves and flowers, but also some insects and small vertebrates.

In the natural environment, the main food consumed by meerkats is mostly natural, unprocessed food. Few contain high-salt ingredients, so their bodies may have adapted to eating low-salt foods. When humans provide food to lemurs, in order to ensure their health, they usually choose food that is suitable for them, rather than giving them high-salt foods, because high-salt foods may have negative effects on the health of lemurs, such as increasing kidney Burden, causing dehydration, etc.
