For juveniles, I would feed 2 to 3(max) crickets per week. Cricket size preferably less then 1/2 of a juvenile scorp's (although they can have no issue taking up larger preys)
If you increase the cricket size, decrease the number of feeding per week.

When it matures to sub-adult, 1-2 cricket per week.

For adults, 1 large cricket per 7-10 days will suffice Smile

+1 on GS. Yeah I wouldn't over do it mate, you might find it will go missing down the burrows for quite some time if it's completely full up.
