Why do scorpions grow so slowly😭😭

[Kheyg Kharra]

Back in January I bought 3 H. Silenus slings. They moulted a day after they've come to me and after that zero moults. I have read that they grow in a year, but with that growth speed.. is this even true? One of them is a very good eater, other two..not so much. Temperature in a room around 27-30°C (depends on either I want to open the window or want to suffer).
Same goes for my Liocheles Australasiae slings, after two months they're still as little as a pinky's nail.
Do they need something else to grow or is it just normal for all scorpions?

Mostly crickets, rarely roaches and mealworms. And for Australasiae feed them newborn roaches rn.

That’s weird two won’t eat much , those are Perfect feeders. I guess wait on more opinions?? Maybe someone knows more.

They are mostly in their burrows, so as I'm trying to give them their snacks they can get scared and refuse to eat. The other one just rests under their moss blankie

they eat when hungry . Sorry they are so picky.
Ahh I see. I had an emp once but I kept too dry or it died of old age I don’t know. I’ve never had a baby scorpion. I wanted a desert hairy but I hear they are hard to keep.

My AFS's were really slow growing too, no moults and I'd had them over a year and still only an inch long. My Paravaejovis spinigerus also hasn't moulted in nearly 18 months, still really small. Admittedly, I don't keep them very warm, they get kept at the same temperature as my T's, so that could have something to do with it.
