My first scorpion, just wanna make sure I'm keeping him/her happy

[torpedo71]

As the title suggests, I just got my first scorpion, an Emperor. It is a little over 2 inches long, seems mildly aggressive, nothing crazy though. I have kept the humidity around 80%, the temps have been in the 80-88 F range. I have fed Napoleon 2 small 1/4 inch crickets on Thursday, the first was taken right away, I put another in a few hours later, it was also gone in the morning. On Friday, I gave another of the same size, it was also eliminated. I put another in today, Saturday, it was eaten rather quickly as well. My question is: should I be giving more since they are being eaten rather quickly or should I slow the pace of feedings?

Slow down

Yeah they don't need that much. I feed my scorplings once a week if they don't look really fat.

Once a week is plenty. Even less once they get bigger.

Thanks for the quick responses.

small 1/4 inch crickets seem too small , maybe a larger cricket every two weeks? But that’s up to you . Enjoy

I wasn't expecting them to be quite that small, which is why I wanted to verify if I was feeding enough. I'll get the larger size next time. I didn't want to overfeed, but with the small cricket size I was worried that it wasn't enough. Thanks for your response.

Agree with previous replies on not overfeeding.
