Detailed explanation of key management points for scorpion farming in summer

Summer is the peak season for scorpion activity. In this season, scorpions molt, grow and mate. Therefore, doing a good job of summer scorpion management is very important for improving economic returns.

1. Increase feeding of highly nutritious feed: mix cornmeal, sugar, bran, etc. into lean meat; soak peanut kernels in clean water until they become crisp, then take them out and chew them (chew until they are no longer sticky); you can also put green grass into a worn burlap sack, sprinkle water on it, and cultivate grass insects to feed the scorpions; mix green grass with bran, and the small white worms that grow after fermentation are also good feed for scorpions.

2. Ensure sufficient drinking water. This is the key to raising scorpions well. Soak corn cobs in diluted sugar water, take them out and shake them until they no longer drip, then put them in the scorpion nest for the scorpions to suck; dip sponge in water, and when it no longer drips, put it in the scorpion nest.

3. Do a good job of managing the scorpion mating period. The main thing is to reasonably adjust the ratio of male scorpions to female scorpions. It is more appropriate for male scorpions to make up about 1/3 or slightly less than 1/2.

4. Do a good job of managing female scorpions after giving birth. After the female scorpion gives birth to young scorpions and they molt, wait until the young scorpions turn black, then use a chicken feather to sweep the young scorpions off the mother's back and separate mother from young to avoid the phenomenon of young scorpions eating the mother scorpion.

5. Prevent and treat scorpion diseases. In summer, scorpions are most prone to dryness disease and black belly disease. These two diseases are mostly caused by eating spoiled food or drinking unclean water. Therefore, pay attention to frequently changing the water, and when feeding, be careful not to let rotten and spoiled food remain in the scorpion nest.
