My Flat Rock Won't Eat!!!

[Fausta]

I have a flat-rock that won't eat anything, not crickets or meal worms.
I have an African Fat Tail which eats like crazy. Any help?

Maybe he's about to molt, or he's just stopping eating which isn't dangerous for him. Try one cricket every week until he eats.

How many years of experience do you have with scorps?

Scorp wont eat

Frank,
Thanks for the reply. I have scorpions on and off for nearly 20 years. I never
have seen one grow so thin. It really loves the blue criket water however.
I have 10 scorpions right now and they all are doing fine.

Ok.. Flatrocks are normally thin, to be able to pass between the rocks..

Isn't that cricket water toxic for other animals?!?!? Mine is toxic for anything beside crickets.

It would be exceptionaly difficult to create something that was safe for crickets, safe for things that ate crickets that consumed it and yet toxic to everything else. More likely, it is the company trying to cover themselves legally when someone feeds it to their little sister or something.

Cheers,
Dave

I had a flat rock that was kind of a picky eater. She rarely took crickets or meal worms. However, I found some success with pinkies and she rarely refused large katydids. I had that scorpion for several years and she always had odd eating patterns.

Scorpion wont eat

Thanks for the replies. I have watched this scorpion get thinner and thnner and less active as well. But, it sure does love that cricket water.

You're right Dave, if his flatrock is fine with the cricket water maybe its fine for animals then..
