AFS Scorpling rescue- Idk what I'm doing please help.
Hey, so a local pet shop's Asian forest scorpion had babies. They are not really equipped for this and wanted me to take the babies since I'm the only invert guy the manager (a personal friend of mine) knows.
2 problems- 1 they promised the mom to another big box pet store and the guy never came to get her, so now the babies are leaving mom and they are scooping them up and sending them to me. I'm not too upset about that as tbh I'm not much of a scorpion guy. I like them but I never planned on getting any and now I'm having to learn very quickly.
Which brings me to problem 2- they sent me the babies with some pinhead crickets. These things are tiny, I'm used to like small spiders that can eat stuff 2-3 times their size, these pinheads are almost microscopic and most of them are dead in the container. I got a couple out and tried to feed the scorplings. I found all the crickets drowned in water bowls the next day and tried to set them out for the babies to get to. They didn't eat them live- which I read is normal, but they didn't eat them dead either. They have been off mom for about 3 or 4 days and haven't eaten anything. What do I do?
I was planning on getting some small dubias to pre kill for them, but I'm worried.
Everything online said these guys are easy, but I'm stressed out cause I've had them 3 days and can't get them to eat. Some sources say feed them weekly, some say 2-3 times a week. I'd like some advice from someone who has kept babies of possible
No idea which species, sorry. Can't get a good look at Mom and the babies are too small for me to even try to guess.
