Are fleas cannibalistic

Fleas are not typically considered cannibalistic, as they primarily feed on the blood of their host animals rather than on other fleas. However, in extreme conditions, such as overcrowding or starvation, they may exhibit cannibalistic behavior by feeding on the blood of other fleas. This behavior is quite rare and not a common aspect of their feeding habits. Overall, fleas primarily rely on their hosts for sustenance rather than preying on one another.
