What are the key technical points for scorpion management in summer
Around the beginning of summer, scorpions of all ages come out of their burrows at night to move about and forage. Because the weather is hot, scorpions should be fed mainly on juicy, easily digestible bait at this time, once every 3 to 5 days; if the temperature difference between day and night is large, they can be fed once every 7 days.
Before Grain in Ear, scorpions of all ages enter a stage of rapid growth and development, the young scorpions molt frequently, and adult scorpions mate and reproduce. At this time the scorpions' feed intake increases noticeably, so the number of feedings should be appropriately increased, enough drinking water should be supplied, and food residues should be removed promptly to prevent them from spoiling and deteriorating.
After Grain in Ear, female scorpions that have not mated will run about wildly. At this time the number of male scorpions put in should be appropriately increased to ensure that the female scorpions complete mating smoothly.
Before Minor Heat, because the temperature and humidity of the environment are suitable, the young scorpions grow faster, scorpions of all ages enter the vigorous molting period, and mated female scorpions also begin to give birth. At this time, young scorpions should be supplied with yellow mealworms 1 to 1.5 cm long, and a certain amount of compound feed should be added; for pregnant scorpions, in addition to supplying yellow mealworms and ground beetles, other live animal bait should also be added to the feeding so that they obtain comprehensive nutrition, achieving the goal of giving birth quickly, giving birth to many young, and giving birth to high-quality young.
After Minor Heat, the temperature is relatively high, so at this time water should be sprayed intermittently onto the scorpion room, scorpion pool and resting boards to lower the temperature inside the scorpion-raising room. When spraying water, a mist form is best, and the number of sprayings depends on the weather conditions, generally 1 to 2 times per day. In addition, the scorpion-raising room should also be disinfected regularly with disinfectant solutions such as potassium permanganate, benzalkonium bromide and boric acid. If various vitamins are added to the yellow mealworm feed, the scorpions will achieve twice the result with half the effort after eating them, and scorpion raisers might as well give it a try.
