hello, I recently purchased a hottentotta hottentotta baby I have done everything I was told to one purchasing however, it has an eaten since the first time I feed it about two days ago it quit moving yesterday. I came home to a white liquid coming out of his side and what appears to be a leg. I’m afraid it might be too late to help it, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Any pics if it’s motionless not much can be done this year I lost a tarantula and couldn’t figure out why. Just a mystery !?!?

Here is it about a week before and one from today.
lack of a small water dish is only thing I see noticeably wrong but wait and let more experienced keepers say what went wrong . let the experts chime in .

Inevitably some just don’t make it . I’ve never kept a scorpling I got an adult last emperor.
I don’t know how accurate this care sheet is and it’s too late ⏰ for you.

Did you keep a feeder in there that wasn't eaten? It looks like the side of the scorp was bitten into

For small scorplings, allowing them to drink from droplets or a moist corner of substrate once in a while is sufficient, especially for more arid species.
