Yes, ticks do get bigger when they feed on blood. As they attach to a host and begin to consume blood, their bodies expand significantly, often doubling or tripling in size. This engorgement can make them more noticeable and easier to identify once they have fed. After feeding, ticks can take several days to fully digest the blood before they detach.
