I would wait at least one generation before feeding off anything wild caught. Another thing to consider would be if woodlice are an appropriate size for the scorpion as feeders.

If you are referring to wild caught wood lice I would not. For me it is far too risky. If you are referring to captive bred, I agree with Gren in that if they are on the small side you will need a number of them to make a substantial meal depending on their size.
