hi, is there any reason I couldn't throw a few isopods in with my scorpions and let the scorps munch on them when they get hungry?

I have several species of both, it was more of an in general question that specific. my set ups are pretty simple, nothing worth taking a picture of.

No problem, just be mindful of the isopods you choose. I've heard that Porcellionides pruinosus can eat molting inverts including scorpions. I never had issues with Porcellio scaber and dwarf white isopods with larger scorpions.

i have a small colony of Porcellio laevis dairy cows. i noticed they are very greedy when it comes to any protien they totally ignore the oak leaf litter and prefer fish flakes/pellets meal/super worms/ crickets even freeze dried cat treats from freeze dried chicken,salmon/sardines, i dont think i could have peace of mind with those added to a cage with a t or scorp thats molting.
