Newbie scorpion owner question regarding keeping feeders

Newbie Posts : 8 Manila Join date : 2012-02-09

Hi guys, I am getting 2 scorps to start (h.longimanus and p.imperator.

Can I feed them dubia exclusively?
Can 5instar up longi and imperator eat adult dubias?
Is it ok if they eat juvenile dubias or smaller ones in more quantity?

Since I will keeponly 2 scorps for now, I dont want to breed a colony of lats! I can find sellers who will only sell a few lats to last a month. This is one reason why I am considering dubia because I can buy a few when needed even though they are expensive.

You can feed them with just dubia.
But for me, its still best to feed them varied diet.

dubia is ok to feed your scorps,take note dubia is harder to breed than latteralis if i were you buy a colony of lats and a colony of crickets, then go for the suggestion of emmilione Very Happy

and regarding about your questions there's no worries on 5i P.imperator to eat adult dubia

i agree with emmillione... your scorps will most likely to meet their needed nutrition if their diet is varied.. i suggest you feed them also mealworms, crickets,and lats if possible.. but it's also okay to feed them just dubias... i also suggest to gutload your dubias at least 24 hours prior to feeding them to your scorps..

yes sir..if you find it more convenient.

A note on feeding - it is much better if you give something that is half the size of the scorpion..
