Well, we know they eat the herbivores just like real lions do since Simba mentions eating the antelope to Mufasa and later asks Timon and Pumbaa if they had any of his favorite meat choices. I've always believed though, that Mufasa either developed a fair system or carried it on from his father or past kings of the Pride Lands. Like, if any of the herds had any members who were sick or dying, the lions or other carnivores that got permission to hunt would put them out of their misery since they would die anyway. If nobody was sick or dying, they'd hunt outside the Pride Lands.
And...I find it really hard to believe that Simba lived on a diet that was solely made up of bugs before he returned to Pride Rock to take his place as king. In fact, I don't really buy it at all. I wouldn't put it past him if once in a while, he snuck away from Timon and Pumbaa and helped himself to a real meal.
