To tell you the truth, I never heard of bamboo in beaver habitat so I don't know whether they can make use of it. Typically they use aspen, willow, cottonwood, and other riparian hardwoods. I just meant shoots of those trees, and probably other succulent vegetation.

Bark is the beaver’s staple food. To ensure a constant supply of food throughout the winter, the beaver spends a great deal of time in the fall felling trees. The beaver tows the logs along the canals it has made and stores them under water. Beaver do not hibernate in winter, but in the northern parts of their range they generally only leave their lodges to feed from stored food supplies. During this time, they live in constant darkness and lose track of time. Aquatic plants, thistles, meadowsweet, leaves, twigs, seeds, and roots make up most of the beaver's summer diet.
