Are all pandas vegetarians?

yes primarily



Bamboo is food and shelter



Bamboo is the most important plant in a giant panda's life. Pandas live in cold and rainy bamboo forests high in the mountains of western China. They spend at least 12 hours each day eating bamboo. Because bamboo is so low in nutrients, pandas eat as much as 84 pounds (38 kilograms) of it each day. Pandas grasp bamboo stalks with their five fingers and a special wristbone, then use their teeth to peel off the tough outer layers to reveal the soft inner tissue. Strong jaw bones and cheek muscles help pandas crush and chew the thick stalks with their flattened back teeth. Bamboo leaves are also on the menu, as pandas strip them off the stalks, wad them up, and swallow them. Giant pandas have also been known to eat grasses, bulbs, fruits, some insects, and even rodents and carrion. At the San Diego Zoo, pandas are offered bamboo, carrots, yams, and special leaf eater biscuits made of grain and packed with all the vitamins and minerals pandas need

I'm sure if you diced up some meat and left it infront of a panda he'd eat it... they just don't go killing animals on their own.

NO - contrary to popular belief, pandas eat bugs, fish, and occasionally attack a larger animal or human. THEY ARE OMNIVORES. Interesting question, though.
yeah they eat bamboo
All the pandas I've ever eaten were 100% meat! OK, maybe 95% meat and 5% fluffy fur....
haha no cause when they have a baby...............
