Hi I have had a boom of tropical orange isopods that live with my millipedes . I had fruit beetle's with them but the isopods hunted down the beetle's to eat there wings so removed them to different tank . I was wondering if I can feed them too my desert hairy scorpion instead of crickets to get there numbers down .

I don't know too much about isopods but the orange variety are protein eaters so there's a chance they might snack on your scorpion (especially if it's molting). I'm also not sure if the scorpion will eat them.

Ok thanks I was thinking of putting the isopods in a feeder fish so they can't get out but the scorpion can reach as thinking the same thing of them eating her

you could try that, usually prey items aren't left in with a scorpion for more than 24 hours though. That's if they were roaming around free in the enclosure of course! It'll be interesting if she sees them as food!
