Be Cautious When Introducing Scorpions for Breeding: Do Not Blindly Buy Breeding Scorpions
Artificial scorpion farming is highly profitable and is an effective way for farmers and laid-off workers to escape poverty and achieve prosperity, so the number of scorpion farming households has increased greatly, giving rise to a "scorpion farming craze." However, according to reports, in the current breeding scorpion trading market, some unscrupulous traders take advantage of scorpion farmers' eagerness to get rich, their lack of scorpion farming knowledge, and their loss of vigilance to sell inferior breeding stock and wild-caught scorpions, cheating many scorpion farmers. In response, relevant farming experts warn: introducing scorpions for breeding is crucial, and you must be cautious in the following three aspects to avoid being deceived.
1. Introduce breeding stock from "five-haves" sources
When first learning to farm scorpions, never go to so-called "scorpion farming training centers," "breeding scorpion branch farms," "fast-track introduction courses," and similar places that "shoot once and move to a new place" to learn and introduce breeding stock. Be sure to introduce breeding stock from "five-haves" sources that have a credibility guarantee, good after-sales service, a fixed farming site, a certain farming scale, and legal notarization, and beware of being deceived.
2. Master the best season for introducing breeding stock
Unscrupulous traders who "hype" breeding scorpions exploit beginners' lack of technical knowledge and lure them with the claim that breeding stock can be introduced in all four seasons. But according to farming experts, the key to success or failure in introducing breeding scorpions lies in the season; they cannot be introduced at any time. Scorpion introduction can be divided into two types: introducing female scorpions and introducing young scorpions. The best season for introducing female scorpions is May to June, and for introducing young scorpions, late August to early September is best. Introducing breeding stock in other seasons is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of scorpions, and otherwise economic income will be greatly reduced.
3. Beware of introducing wild-caught breeding scorpions
According to surveys, many wild scorpions have been "hyped" into scorpion breeding markets across China. Wild scorpions are ferocious by nature and highly wild, often preying on domesticated scorpions, causing massive deaths of domesticated scorpions and major economic losses. Therefore, when introducing breeding stock, you must clearly distinguish domesticated from wild scorpions. Never introduce wild-caught breeding scorpions, and even more, never mix domesticated scorpions with wild scorpions.
