     They can.  In the episode "Q Who" we saw a Borg nursery. They are
born totally organic, and then shortly after birth they start installing
the implants.
        You could ask why are there so few non-humanoid species in Trek.
It's all the same reason, $$$$$$$.  Of course the Borg may choose to
ignore those species anyway, even if we saw ample evidence of their
existance on Trek.
