What do I do with big feeder crickets

[Mushusmum]

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?

 

[Glorfindel]

start a colony so they can keep reproducing.
plenty of info on here and utube on how to set em up.

any other suggestions? i don't have the setup for doing this

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!

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?

I would only feed live or freshly killed insects

Sell them to your local pet store if you have one near you.

But some egg laying substrate in there, and let them make babies.

No.

I just gave mushu a waxwork. He grabbed it at 1 end and slammed it into the substrate, then grabbed the other end and licked the entire length of the body before fighting it into submission till the little grub accidentally went in his mouth… lol I don’t think he is used to waxwork
