Over eating ?

[Guysak]

My baby afs has a habit of eat so much that it's tergits and are saperated and it's grey skin is bolging. Is this normal ? The only problem is I can only get live food (crickets and locasts ) the same size as my afs .will this harm him if so what to do ? I'm new to Scorpion so any advice welcome

if you're worried about overfeeding the scorpling, you could try reducing its meals to once a week. They don't need to eat every day. Its quite normal for its plates to spread out when it eats.

If it is becoming obese then the feeding needs to be cut back.

I've never had that issue of overfeeding. I dont believe you can overfeed a scorpion. When theyre not hungry they wont eat and vice versa. Plate separation is normal especially in a growing scorpionling. It will eventually go into premolt go off feed and then molt... repeat cycle.
