Favorite Scorpion Food

I use only crickets, but I have a 10g tank devoted to just keeping them.

 

I usually feed crickets as well. I will sometimes feed mine a big katydid or grasshopper. A couple of months ago when all those brown beetles were flying around the porch light, I got to feeding them to my emperors. Those emps would crush the beetle with their chela which was cool to watch since the beetles exoskeleton is so hard.

 

Feeding

I Feed my Hadrurus arizonensis about 8 crickets a week and 1 or 2 meal worms , i feed my asian forrest about 6 crickets a week , she wont eat meal worms .. My emps eat crickets , meal worms , and they love a pinkie once a month ..

 

Wow! Thats too much! I feed my spadix about 2 crickets per 2 weeks and its enough! Don't feed em like this! 4 crickets per month is perfect

I feed my cadre of scorpions and Widows a mixture of crickets and mealworms, both a most nutrious protein diet. Also, will drop in june bugs once they're in season and are attracted to the porch lights too. Miscellaneous creature from the garden are also occassionally given the arachnids, but that is always a judgement call because you don't want the feed your captives something poorly nourished or malnourished or poisoned.

 

What should I feed my feeders to make sure my scorpions get all the nourishment they need?

Feed my feeders.

I only feed with crickets, which I breed.

leiurus ? my desert hairy is not fat , i think he's in perfect shape . his previous owner had been feeding him 2 crickets every other day , I wouldnt feed him as much , but everytime i do throw in a cricket , he eats it almost instantly , He is also a verry verry active digger , wich iam sure makes him more hungry .. But if this is true and i should stop feeding him what he's use too , i will , can i get a little feedback on what you guys would do ? :?

I would feed him like you do if he's doing well.

 

I use naturezone dry cricket-bites, no stink and they grow like crazy.

 

I feed my crickets with fish food.

 

i feed mine cheap dog biscuit (the complete meal stuff) and some cucumber or whatever

edit - thats what i feed my crickets, the scorpions get crickets and if i find something extra juicy in the garden, they get that.

 

When did you get it? I think 4 crickets per month is enough! In the desert, they don't eat a lot. Yours will become fat soon if you feed it like this. I feed all my scorpions with crickets and sometimes grasshoppers.

i feed mine a mixture of crickets and lobster roaches, my roach colony if blooming finally, so i spoil my scorps

also feed my big asian forest giant hissing roaches once a month and crickets in between

my T's love the roaches and i feed my pedes the roaches too, but i mix it up alot

 

I feed mine lizards, they love them!

 

caught a scorp

i caught a baby scorpion in my backyard about 30 mins ago, what is a good food for it, and how do i water it? this is my first time ever finding a live scorpion.

 

like most people said above
crickets work just fine
and can be found at most all pet stores

 

I feed mine Fluker's orange cube and Fluker's calcium fortified cricket quencher. My crix and scorps both seem healthy so it must be doing the trick. :clap:

 

I feed my A. Australis crickets, and large grass hoppers and beatles i try to mix it up, i think its healthyer to do that anyways
