What to feed my southern devil scorpion (Vaejovis carolinianus)

[WillOFire]

So I went on a collecting trip over the weekend and caught a very small scorpling maybe 2 cm from tip to end of tail and I was wondering what it would eat? I currently have colonys of armadillidium vulgare (roly polys) and Porcellio laevis (non-roly roly poly) and also my hissing cockroach just gave birth and I have some small ones.

Hissers are fine. Crickets, meal worms, soldier fly larva, wax worms ext. Scorpions have a wide verity of meals. Also keep in mind introducing a wild caught creature can create unwanted guests. So it might be smart to keep it in quarantine untill you keep it with your other little ones. Typically I keep my newbies in a simple setup that's away from the rest untill I feel it has been doing fine and hasn't shown and strange activity.

Beautiful scorpion! This is one of my dream species, along with any orthochirus sp lol. As for feeders I usually use mealworms for my scorpIons. In my experience, scorpions(at least my euscorpius lol) will take mealworms that are even a bit larger that themselves but smaller mealworms are always preferred. Anyways, good luck with your little guy.

Banded crickets, meal worms, roaches.
