Molting while dubia cockroaches around?

[StarshipTrooper]

Is it safe to have my scorpion going through its molting process with several dubia cockroaches in the terrarium since I don't think they bite or feed on other insects? Also what other kind of prey is safe to be put in the terrarium without having to worry about them killing the pet while molting? I know that crickets are pretty dangerous and what else?

Thank you.

Just nit a good idea for any to be in there. You really shouldn't have them just running a muck to be honest. Could be stressful on your scorpion and cause it to want to not molt correctly.

No. Why? It is very possible that the scorpion can be bothered in mid molt, and stuck, and die.

Is it possible to feed it with a tweezer next to its mouth? I guess if it is hungry it will grab and eat?

If its molting then don't try to feed it. Just remove the roaches

It won't eat if it's about to molt anyway. So it's safe to say to just take everything potentially hazardous out.

Remove any uneaten feeders with tongs.
