chubbies on a diet

sooo my emps havent wanted to eat for a week.
its ok theyre chubby

lol

ummmh ok its going on two weeks now that they have refused to eat. should i be worried?

no

chubby or gravid?

just chubby i believe.gravid would be awesome though.

If they dont eat in like 4 months i should get worried, not before :-)

My scorpion has ate 1 meal worm in 3 months.

thanks fellow scorpers!

third week of the fasting.saving me cents on the large crickets and kinda of nerve wrecking though.

Not to worrie. Worrie if they behave werd. Not eating is nt weird.

they are eating again.i found out why they havnt been eating.theyve been working extensively on this super burrow together.theyve been sharing it.one of em will occasionaly come out during the week to tell me its hungry and ill give it 2-3 crickets..

this last time the female came all the way out looking fatter than she was before the diet.
her tail kinda droops like in that post a couple weeks back.https://scorpionforum.darkbb.com/t7076p15-2-new-emps-today

gravid?

just my .02, my spin wouldnt eat for weeks, then started burrowing madly right before birthing. but thats the only time ive seen her burrow and dig like that, so in my experience fat+digging=babies

thatd be awesome

sooo today i come into my room to find the male out of the main burrow and the female wont let him in.theyve been sitting there in that position for about two hours.hmmmm

the male wandered off now.hmmmmm
he made a scratch under a log hmmmm
one of the seven potential hiding spots he picked that hmmmm
possibly to dig a burrow to meet the end of the other burrow hmmmm
maybe she wants to deliver the brood and thats why shes been hanging her tail like she has to poop.hmmmm
why do i have scorpions hmmmm
why is my mouth dry hmmmm

Hmmmmm

hahahaha

she eventually let him back in. hmmmm

the female has been out for like 30 min now.wandering around then coming back to the burrow.if she issss gravid would it be a good idea to remove the male?i could imagine it being a stressor as in the wild they do the dance and part ways.

??????

When she is giving birth or just before it is always a better idea to have them separated. I keep all androctonus etc together, contrary to what its been said.

But when a female is highly gravid I separate them. So you're prolly right to do so.

does this look like stilting?


she came out yesterday and did this.then went into the burrow poking out and took 3 crickets.ate em all.i sat and watched her take em all down.
today shes out like that again.wtf?

Yes. Kinda looks basket too.

basket???

Yeah like when they deliver.
