scorpion not eating

Hi I've had my emperor scorpion for about 2 months. she has was eating normally at the beginning but now she doesn't eat at all even when the crickets enter her hideout. I even tried to feed her with the tongs she just bats the cricket away and leaves. any suggestions?

Leave her alone for a few weeks, make sure the humidity is high enough and it's warm enough in the tank. Give it a water dish then just leave it alone.
Check every couple of weeks and drop a cricket in every 2-3 weeks. They'll usually start eating again when they are ready.

Scorps can go months without eating don't worry, is your scorp adult? Sometimes can be a sign of a molt on the way we have one scorp that hasn't eaten for 4-5 months now lol

thnx for the info and my humidity is about 80,90 Degrees when sprayed and goes down to 65 pre-sprayed. Is that a bit too much? sorry that i'm a noob at this.

Thnx or the info. I'm sure shes an adult as i can see the tip of the tail is red. i think i remember that being a factor.

Welcome, yeah I wouldn't worry about it not eating for a while yet.

Also I wouldn't worry too much about specific humidity just make sure there's moisture throughout all the substrate and that it always has a water dish. Spraying won't do much to an already dried out substrate, it's easier to just pour water into it and let it soak through.

yes this is my first scorpion and i was worried at this turn of events and thank you for reassuring me and for the information provided
