Dune Scorpion Feeding

[Angelo303]

my Scorpion hasn't eaten since i got it but i put in small crickets but it doesn't do nothing it runs from it, can i feed it a large cricket? or whats wrong

You could crush the head of the cricket (so it doesn't move but it doesn't die). The scorpion might then scavenge the cricket. If you've recently got the scorpion, it could be still adjusting to its enclosure. They can go for ages without eating and it doesn't harm them.

so i dont have to be so worried about it eating?

They can go for weeks without eating. It's quite normal for them. If it's still not interested in eating, just remove it and try again the next day.

I don't see any hide for the scorpion. Put 1 or 2 hides in there, it will make your scorpion feel more at home and show normal behavior after a few days.

Ok ! If it still won't eat by now then I suggest you increase the enclosure temperature by 5°C for 1 week. The scorpion should be a bit more active and hopefully show 'sit and wait' posture at the entrance of it's hide. That's when it's most likely waiting for pray to pass by and hopefully catch and eat it.
