Hey, so i recently purchased a asian forest scorpion and i have had it for a week. so far i have offered food but it doesn't seem to want to eat and it seems to look like it is scared of it. i fully understand scorpions can go a long period without food however my only concern is as its a young scorpion is it more susceptible to starvation when compared to an older scorpion? i also thought it looked a bit skinny but obviously being new to this i have no idea.
ill attach some pictures of the set up and the scorpion and I was hoping someone could just tell me if I'm doing anything wrong or if the scorpion is a bit skinny.
I keep the enclosure at around 70%-80% humidity with an average temperature of about 21.5c (71f), i keep a fresh water bowl and 2 hides to choose from, ive opted for dubia roach as a feeder and i have tried both tweezer feeding as well as crushing the dubia head and leaving it on it back so it wriggles.the substrate consists of cocofibre/small amount of sand/leaf litter with an area of stones and a small area of moss and live plants
Tried to get the best photos I could, the substrate is moister than it looks
