UPDATE: August 14th
I recently opened the group container that originally housed 4 baby Flat Rocks, and now there is only 1 very fat baby scorpion remaining. I also noticed baby scorpion pieces (claws, ex.ex.) scattered throughout the container. It appears this latest death was a case of cannibalism. The surviving baby also appears to have its tail stinger tip totally removed.
I believe perhaps I have underfed the babies since birth by feeding them too small of crickets at feedings (because most babies still appear to be on the skinny side.) And perhaps if the scorpions in the group container were better fed this cannibalism would not have taken place.
Note: With the other 2 dead baby Flat Rocks that have been removed from the group container there was no (positive) evidence of cannibalism.
The (9) babies that were housed in individual deli cups have a 100% survival rate.
PERSONALLY I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HOUSING BABY FLAT ROCK SCORPIONS IN INDIVIDUAL CONTAINERS.
