HOW TO FEED NEWLY GIVEN BIRTH HOTTENTOTTA HOTTENTOTTA?

[Matt121997]

just gave birth last night I tnink didn't see it, how often do you feed the mother?

don't feed, it'll just stress her out. wait for the babies to dismount and then try feeding. If you really have to, feed pre-killed prey.

she won't eat the babies? cause she will be hungry if she is not eating

when it comes to you feeding, after they are no longer with the mother I use flightless fruit flies. I recently bought this deathstalker and it’s the smallest I’ve had even out of my T slings

no, not out of hunger, but out of stress. so feeding to prevent her from eating her brood may end up influencing her to eat them.

Scorpions can go a very long time without food. Stress is a bigger factor after giving birth.
