Okay thank you, should I take the locust out then? Also why is he/she attempting to climb the tank?
Whatever the prey is leave it in overnight. Scorpions are nocturnal and will only be looking for food at night, probably when you are asleep.I have an Asian forest scorpion, its the 3rd day I have had him/her now, the peat and moss is damp and the temperature is just about right... I've dropped a locust in there yesterday and because it wasn't eaten it took it back out tried again this morning and I am trying again right now... Should I just leave the locust in there overnight with the scorpion? Or take it out before I go to bed? Thanks in advance
I would rather say it is because it is not adjusting to captivety! Or it is stressed because something is wrong with the set up thst they dont like, this behaviour can be seen. Some individuals just dont adjust well to captivety! Same with tarantulas. If kept right and the spider is well adjusted, this behaviour is not seen
Okay thanks for the reply
, can you suggest anything that may upset my scorp? The last thing I want to do is stress it out and make it uncomfortable :/
You have had your scorpion for three days and you are worried it's not eating. It's only humans and humming birds that find the need to eat every day. It will probably take 2/3 weeks or more to settle in it's new home and maybe not eat for a week or more. Leave the locust in overnight for one more night, if it doesn't eat remove and try again in a week. The only thing scorpions do quickly is sting.Okay thanks for the reply
Thanks for the reply, awesome advice
glad you guys have been able to help me out, I appreciate it
