A system for breeding fleas comprises a blood reservoir with a feeding membrane and a cage adjacent to the feeding membrane and containing a screen which supports the fleas during feeding, divides the cage into a feeding chamber and an egg collection chamber and provides access by the fleas between these chambers. The fleas are confined in the cage and stand on the screen to feed by penetrating the membrane with their mouth parts to obtain blood from the reservoir. The access between the feeding and egg collection chambers allows the cage to contain more fleas than if such access were not provided and open interiors of the feeding and egg collection chambers allow easy cleaning and egg collection.
