My H. hottentotta popped 23 slings about a month ago. The moment they dropped off, i separated them. I used modified pillboxes as containment, each compartment floored with a bit of coco peat. It was all going well until they died out one by one, leaving only 4. I actually saw one dying, and i noticed an absolutely microscopic kind of moving white speck-slash-piece of dust on that baby's back..saw the same thing on the other dead ones.
Am i suffering some sort of infestation here? Do such parasites eat the living hell out of scorpions? they might be in danger of getting wiped out, even my other scorps..
