An important distinction to make is that they are facultative herbavors, not obligate herbavors.

They might prefere fruits and veg, but they'll eat whatever they can get their teeth on.

The herbivore/carnivore/omnivore distinction is pretty stupid to begin with

There are a few animals that have a single food source. There are many that require certain things in their diet. There's basically nothing that exclusively eats meat (although there's many who need it) and there's few if any "herbivore" that won't take a little extra protein if they don't have to chase it
