I don't know. The dragons in FiM seem to be able to eat anything even gemstones and they prefer to eat gemstones.

I read somewhere that the dragons behavior (at least Spike's and his greed issue) in FiM is similar to the description of dragons in Dungeons and Dragons monster manuals. I'm not sure but I think Hasbro also owns D&D so it might not be a coincidence.
