How is the eating of eggs scientifically classified?

An animal that eats meat is a carnivore, an animal that eats plants is an herbivore, and an animal that eats both is an omnivore. What about animals that eat eggs?

Um…an ovivore?

Heh. Anyway, aren’t eggs just premature meat anyway? So it’d still be carnivore right? Unless you mean an animal that eats ONLY eggs. Even then, I’d lean towards carnivore.

Dasypeltis.

I think ovivore works, but I haven’t seen it used much.

Ah - oophagous. I knew I half-remembered some -phagy term.

I’ve heard “ovivarous” used.
