Once they’re fully grown their digestive system resembles a nuclear reactor more than a stomach and they eat literally anything and can get energy out it. Even sand.

I think sandworms can get big enough to hear their own noise and try to eat themselves. Just deep desert stuff

I heard of a sandworm that had one of its ring segments surgically removed so that it could eat its own tail

I assume they get most of their nutrition from filtering stuff out of the sand, like baleen whales scooping krill out of the ocean, and humans are just their favorite treats. They can’t get enough of those delicious, delicious people, and who can blame them?

i dont think they enjoy eating humans at all, they just do it to protect the spice sands (the colonies of their offspring)

Sandworms are huge. Thars like drinking a light beer for them.
