In the evening we walked to the house of Esme's mother. Nearby is a small river with an extremely bad smell. But the plants growing near the water are an excellent place to catch grasshoppers, or even crickets.
Read the rest of Scorpion food.
I use crickets and grasshoppers about the same size as the scorpion body or smaller.
I have a little scorpion that is about the size of a dime what should I feed it.
Hi Jonathan,
Small crickets (pinheads) should be fine.
what should i feed my scorpion besides crikets and grass hoppers.
jaden - I feed them a cockroach (Periplaneta Americana to adult scorpions, smaller species to smaller scorpions) now and then. Recently I fed to a Centruroides flavopictus a "Super Worm" (Zophobas Morio), which it ate without any problems.
Scorpions are cool! <3
Can you feed a scorpion maggots?
what can i feed my dime sized scorpion
David - small crickets, pinheads (baby crickets), and termites should work. Also baby-superworms. I am currenly breeding my own superworms, and some young scorpions I have eat those.
I have a very small scorpion and I dont now what to feed it exept grasshopper and crickits
yasir, see my reply to David, just above yours.
i recently bought a scorpion and im wondering if it drinks water or not im currently feeding it crickets and small roaches can anyone help
@has - my scorpions either drink from a bottle cap with some water, or drink moisture from stones after I have misted the terrarium. What works for your scorpion best depends on the species. I mist desert species (Vaejovids) and provide a bottle cap to the Centruroides species and Diplocentrus species I keep.
Scorpion caught on the roof has a photo of an adult male Centruroides flavopictus ("Tina") drinking from a bottle cap. A house gecko, and a scorpion drinking shows a Diplocentrus species drinking from a larger plastic cup.
should i keep a wild one i caught
@merrick - if you are sure that you can take care of it, there are no local laws against collecting scorpions in the wild, and the scorpion is not medical significant, sure.
Make sure that the scorpion can't escape and harm other people in the place where you live.
I don't no what to do with my dead scorpion I mean its been dead for 4 weeks now but my mom wont let me throw it out.
You can preserve scorpions in 70% alcohol or you might give clear casting resin a try. I want to check out the latter later this year.
i found a georgia baby scorpion in my school binder please help. i have no clue what to feed it. i saved it from the mean boys at school. they wanted to kill it. and what should i put it in with sand? or rocks and grass? i have no clue!
@rima - crickets are often fine. According to Scorpions of The USA Checklists by State it might either be Centruroides hentzi or Vaejovis carolinianus. I am not familiar with either species but Centruroides species have a tiny "stinger" next to the actual stinger. This makes the tail end look a bit like a can opener, see Centruroides hentzi photo.
As for how to keep it, I have no idea. If you know which species it is you might want to use Google for finding more information.
there are many things to do with scorpions, you need to be really careful.
1 make sure you don't leave it forever and think it will live, it cant catch food for itself in a cage.
2 make sure you get the right food, search around and you will probably find something there or you can go to a pet shop and ask them.
3 make sure you give it plenty of food and water, to give it water you need to get a bottle cover and put it in the dirt just high enough to let it be able to get a drink.
4 MAKE SURE YOU BE CAREFUL!
my scorpion recently just gave birth, and is there any special food i should give it or what should i give the baby scorpions?
thank you very much. i appreciate it.
@Brandon - you could feed the mother a pre killed cricket. The baby scorpions will start to leave the mother after some time. If they don't climb back on her you might want to put each in a container. You can feed them baby crickets (pinheads).
Good luck.
what can't a scorpion climb??
Are scorpions born without tails? I found a small creature about the size of maybe a sugar ant, really teeny tiny. it has no tail, 8 legs and two pincher arms. it moves a lot like a scorpion and I know we have some here. otherwise maybe it is a type of tick without jumping powers. ??
@Jamal - scorpions can't climb very smooth surfaces like glass for example. Small scorpions can climb the silicon of glass fish tanks though. Also, if the glass is just a little dirty, small scorpions might be able to walk on it.
@rawskindoll - based on your description I am very sure you have found a pseudoscorpion also known as a false scorpion or book scorpion. It belongs, like scorpions, to the class of Arachnida.
Instead of stinging their prey like scorpions, they use the venom in their claws.
does scorpion eat flies?
@kp: one of my scorpions once at a moth, so it wouldn't amaze me if a scorpion would eat a fly if it could catch one.
m Scorpion......and m so happy in my Life.
