What food do artificially bred scorpions generally eat?

1. Artificially bred feed: includes yellow mealworms, pill bugs (Armadillidium vulgare) and centipedes, etc. They have strong reproductive capacity and grow fast. But they should be raised in advance to prevent feed shortages. This type of feed is especially suitable for female scorpions.

2. Insect feed: includes ants, butterflies and various moths, etc. They can be caught in the wild or trapped with black light lamps. Suitable for feeding 2-3 cm juvenile scorpions and subadult scorpions. 3. Meat feed: frog meat, sparrow meat, chicken, pork, etc. It can be directly fed to pregnant scorpions that have not yet given birth, but it must not be left in the pool for too long to avoid spoilage, and spoiled feed must be removed promptly. 4. Mineral feed: in early spring, place some weathered soil from under mountain rocks and bone meal on the surface layer of the scorpion pool, mix into the meat feed, and feed it to multi-instar scorpions. 5. Compound feed: (1) Wheat bran (stir-fried until yellow) 30%, egg liquid 40%, meat 30%. (2) Meat paste 30%, wheat bran (stir-fried until yellow) 30%, flour (stir-fried until yellow) 30%, green vegetable paste 10%, mixed into granules. (3) Sugar 200 g, wheat bran 200 g, milk 150 g. The mixed feed can be fed to scorpions of all instars as long as it has not spoiled. The feeding amount should be such that the scorpions eat their fill without leftovers. 6. Self-made feed additives: according to experiments, adding 1% mixture and a small amount of multivitamins to the feed can make scorpions grow plump and strong and increase the number of offspring. The preparation method is: crush 1000 g of superphosphate into fine powder, add 3.5 g of ferrous sulfate, 3 g of copper sulfate, 2.5 g of manganese sulfate, 1 g of zinc sulfate, 1 g of magnesium sulfate, 0.05 g of potassium iodide, then mix well to make the mixture. What are the effects of taxis on artificial scorpion breeding? Scorpions have positive taxis toward weak light and negative taxis toward strong light. Therefore, the light in the scorpion room should be dim at night; suddenly turning on a strong flashlight or strong light will cause scorpions to panic and flee, and will have a great impact on female scorpions that are mating or giving birth; scorpions have sensitive negative taxis toward sound. In artificial scorpion breeding, noise can make scorpions that are mating terminate mating and can make female scorpions that are giving birth abandon their young, thereby reducing the survival rate of the young. Many breeders have found that poor rates of young scorpions climbing onto the mother's back are related to these factors; scorpions have a strong avoidance response to various strong odors (such as gasoline, paint) as well as various chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, quicklime, etc., and panic and flee. These must be paid attention to during rearing and transport.
