:Yes, they can.  This is mentioned on the [[metallivore]] page.  It appears the chance is 2/25 ([https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.6.6_Released/src/mon.c#L951 relevant code]). [[User:Cathartes|Cathartes]] ([[User talk:Cathartes|talk]]) 18:11, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

I've noticed this a few times: there is a metal item on the ground, like a piece of armor, and I see a rock mole eat it; then after the rock mole moves away, there is a small pile of stones in that square which wasn't there before.

Yes, they can. This is mentioned on the metallivore page. It appears the chance is 2/25 (relevant code). Cathartes (talk) 18:11, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
