Why don't zombies eat each other? The flaws in Berlin's transport system; The adolescence of the lambs
How do zombies know not to eat each other? What would they do if there were no non-zombies left?
Zombies know not to eat each other because they only eat living human flesh. Once infected and full zombification has taken place, the zombie is no longer alive, so its flesh is not palatable to other zombies.
If all the humans were eaten or infected the zombies would not turn on each other, or eat animals – they would roam around looking for more live humans. As they are dead, their flesh would rot due to decomposition and weathering. The zombies would break down and eventually there would be none left.

The reason that "zombies" do not eat each other is because they are fictional characters played by actors obeying the instructions in the script.
