Welcome!

Two to three crickets a week is about perfect.

They will sometimes fast for several weeks for no reason as well, so don't panic if yours doesn't eat the food items - just try every few days or so if this is the case.

thanks for the advice going to get it today i say it as not sure of the sex

they can manage up to a year without food, but this is not normal or healthy for them. going for a month without food however is normal and usually means a molt but not always.
post a picture of the pectines (feathery bits underneath it) and we will be able to give you a positive ID.
welcome to the forum, enjoy your stay.

thanks guys here is a pic for the guy who asked me to post picks of her feathery bits underneath her any 1 got ideas to the sex or possible sex of it baring in mind guy in shop told me it is between 6-8 months old how true that is im not sure and also a few pics aswell of it in my hand so you can see the size it is roughly

thats a male, no doubt about it. huge pectines and an oval operculum. looks to be adult though might not be, depends on the lighting in the photo.

im not sure with its sting out in relaxed mode it is only about 4 and half inch not very big compared to what i have read about them and the size they go to usualy

That scorp is a sub-adult - I would guess at 5i considering its a male. That means its unlikely to be 6-8 months old, i would say over a year old.

ok thanks mate
