Scorpions are carnivores, mainly preying on the larvae of some spiders, dragonflies, mosquitoes, flies and other insects, this is because small scorpions can not eat large insects, but can only eat small bread worms. The more species of small insects you feed when feeding scorpions, the better. Therefore, remember to diversify your diet when breeding.

In addition to including a variety of insects, scorpion feed is also based on animal feed such as fresh meat of various livestock and poultry, and plant feed can be added appropriately. Plant-based feed is mainly some grains, bran, grass, etc. If these feeds are not treated, a single put, scorpions generally do not eat, eat and do not digest, so feeding must be steamed, fried, finely ground, and then with appropriate minced meat, fishmeal, oil, milk, etc., mixed evenly, placed on the food plate feeding.

The habits of scorpions.

Scorpions are cold-blooded animals, have the habit of hibernation, whenever the temperature drops to about 12, the scorpion will lurk in the soil to hibernate, in the nest does not eat or move, when the temperature rises to more than 20, and begins to wake up again.

Scorpions are timid and easily frightened, and if there is a slight abnormal sound, they will immediately dodge, stand still, or have abnormal actions such as cannibalism, biting, and miscarriage of pregnant scorpions. Scorpions have poor eyesight and inflexible movements, so they have poor predatory ability, so it is not easy to catch live small animals to satisfy hunger, and they are often in a state of being full and hungry, and over time they have developed a rare hunger tolerance in the animal kingdom.

Scorpions love to eat animal feed, including various insects and their larvae, centipedes, earthworms, meat meal, fish meal, frogs, birds, beasts, etc. Feed the scorpion with the soft-shelled turtle worm, the growth and development is very good, it can be used as the main feed, it is best to feed the scorpion of the same age with the soft-shelled turtle worm of the same age, the average adult scorpion is given 30 mg of the soft-shelled turtle worm, and it can not be fed for 6 days after a full meal.

1 cubic meter of local scorpions, with 2 cubic meters of local turtle insects as feed, can meet the requirements. Therefore, when raising scorpions, it is best to also raise soft-shelled turtles or maggots, earthworms, etc., so as to make comprehensive use. In addition, milk, oil (mutton fat, butter, lard), eggs, etc. are rich in nutrients.

Scorpions are arachnids, and spiders also belong to the arachniformes. Their typical features include an elongated body, sting, curved segmented tail, and a stinger. The first scorpions on land appeared about 430 million years ago in the Silurian period.

Also known as the Malcolt scorpion, it belongs to the family Buthidae of the order Scorpions. The East Asian pincer scorpion has the largest number and the most widespread distribution, covering more than 10 provinces in China.
