What do the baby scorpions eat? Does the mother still catch prey as fast as normal with all the babies on her back?

She hasnt eaten since she laid them, when they do hatch i`ll feed the hatchlings on real small crickets or fruit flies

That must be a prety long time. Why wont she eat?

She goes out hunting when she wants to feed, but shes locked herself in a burrow, and hasnt come out at all, its on the side of the tank so i can see her all the time

[SIZE=18pt]UPDATE[/SIZE]

They started to emerge a few days ago

Ive seperated only a fraction of them

The mum seems fine

Checked on them this morning and shes been burrowing all over the place, so she seems back to her old self

That being said i think i should get the babies out fast

Their set up is very cheap and simple to create, simply a circket tub filled with a bit of cocofibre with a layer of dead leaves on the top to provide hiding places

The photos looked a tad better before crappy photobucket

Heres the set up for the masses

These are the babies in their new tubs, i havent even tackled the main group of babies yet :yikes:

Heres one i dun up a bit better for my dad, just a better tub and a dollop of nice n vibrant moss

Anyway <_<

Well i finally de-babytised the mums tanks and ended up with a grand total of 45 babies!!!!

I seperated all but 13, 4 in an experimental communal setup and 9 left overs

I ran out of decent cricket tubs but i found these nail seperater things i think my dad gave to me, with a few holes finely drilled in they are perfect set ups for them, all filled with the same cocofibre with a layer of dead leaves.

Heres all the tubs

The big tub is the "really useful box" housing the mum, the little tray on top of it has the odd babies for the moments. Next to it are the 2 narrow nails holders housing 6 juveniles each, the big one houses 12, with 8 in their own compartments and 4 in an experimental communal set up, i may add more.

Some more good news would be that i got the female out, shes as docile as she always has been and took a cricket immidiatly, so hopefully shes not too weak from staying in her burrow, i also took some photos with my new cam, still need to get used to it a little bit, seems very unforgiving to even the slightest wobble

Couldnt decide which ones to upload so i done them all
