I have 1 scorpion. And the feeder crickets are getting big some are the same size as his body. What can I do with them?

Fry 'em up with some salt and spices. Protein rich snack ;)

Some scorpions accept prekilled prey as well, in which case it wouldn't matter they are too big. Squish their head and remove the leftovers after 24 hours.

chop them into little bits to feed. buy more pets to feed em off fast enough or buy only enough to feed off at one time

Get a large scorpion species. My P. imperator female used to take two fully grown locusts at the same time! She was a cracker! 🤣

A mix of food from pets at home and fruit
What I mean is, there is no cricket that I know of that will get bigger than you're scorpion. I have one of these and it will take 2 fully grown adult black field crickets at the same time with ease mine is probs around 11cm from head to end of tail yours looks around a similar size is it not?
