Ok since a bunch of people is here, do scorpions have a "eating habit" where they only prefer one type of food (crickets or mealworms)?
Example= Some ball pythons only eat live mice.

Some are picky. Most are not. Just make sure you are offering appropriate prey items.

To add to @darkness975 comment make sure you are offering appropriate sized prey - no more than two thirds the body length of the scorpion.

Ok thx, because I don't think my scorpion has been eating what I've been offering her. So I might try mealworms. But is there any other reasons why they won't eat?

Do you have pictures of the Scorpion and the enclosure it lives in?

Regarding feeding, crickets are the best shot you have at triggering a feeding response.

When scorpions are approaching a molt they will stop feeding. If one or more of their environmental factors are not being met it will stress them and cause them to stop feeding. If they are not getting an adequate day and night cycle it is possible that that could also affect feeding.

Then there are the times that they simply are not hungry.

Ok thanks, I am guessing that the substrate is not deep enough (only 2 inch)

The more the better.
