Do Baby Fleas Crawl Or Jump?
While both baby and adult fleas are able to jump, they actually spend most of their time crawling. This is because jumping uses a lot of energy and fleas need to conserve as much energy as possible. When a flea jumps, it uses its powerful hind legs to propel itself into the air. It can jump up to 200 times its own body length, which is equivalent to a human jumping nearly 30 feet!
