finally eating

well both of my emps must have settled in now as they have both finally eaten . one of them i had no prodlems with it eat within two days of me getting them the other wasnt botherd but i wasnt worried as i know the can go without food for months lol. ive had them for abot 3-4 weeks the first scorp was eating as soon as i feed the other again not botherd lol. i feed them last night and as soon as i put the cricket at the entrence to the first ones burrow and the cricket entred i heard a crunch within a second and sure enougth he was munching away hes really agrresive with his food he takes its right away all the time lol. so i put a cricket to the entrance to the sconds burrow and aftter a few seconds to my supprise the scorp turned around and actually stung the cricket and started munching away lol . i was really supprised not only did it eat but it actually stung it witch according to the research ive done is pretty rare for emps to sting isnt it lol. im just really happy that i know they have both settled now and started feeding.

Hey, glad your emps are doing fine. That's very cool to actually see an emp sting its prey. I've only seen it once myself when I fed it a giant grasshopper. Does this mean they've stopped fighting with each other and are now good roommates? lol

glad to hear they have settled in! i have never seen my emp sting its prey, you should film it next time see if it does it again lol

yeah mate the last time i saw them fight was some time last week they still live in seprate burrows but the other day when i fed the one whos always eaten since i got him i made sure there was no leftovers left in the burrow as i dont want to get mites and he ran in to the others hide while i was cleaning his and there was no fighting so hopefully the wont be any more fights now lol . yeah bexs if it dose it sgain i will try to film it lol.hows your new scorps hope they settleing ok
