Might be quite difficult to make the leap from Wraith to Human.
But I believe that could work!
Spoiler:Did you see what I did there?

Sure they could feed on each other without the retrovirus but when it's hive vs. hive. The retrovirus allows for them to totally incapacitate the other hive and allow for "easy pickings".
No?

Except, we (and the Wraith, apparently), don't quite like cannibalism.

The Wraith are a testament to the benefits of going organic - even their ships are organic.

Seems to me there's a bit of mixed information about wraith feeding on wraith. They can, according to the ep Common Ground, give life to each other. Stands to reason they can feed on each other, too. Except that the wraith queen in Allies is clearly pleased to be able to feed on a wraith-turned-human. If it's because of human emotion and defiance...well, recently turned wraith don't even have memories! They're completely blank, and I can't imagine they'd be any more "tasty" than cloned wraith or enemy wraith.
Until this episode I assumed that wraith couldn't feed on each other (and that in The Defiant One, the wraith had been feeding on stored humans, not his shipmates).
I think that the writers just use whatever method works for the individual episode. Unfortunately, since the wraith needing to feed is a rather major plot point, it should be consistent!
