My adult female I feed about every 4-5 days or so... on one or two dead morio worms.

Ive got a colony of 4-5 Babycurus Jacksonis and i just chuck about 50 baby crickets in there, when they are all gone i chuck another load in there, which is usually after about a week so theyre getting through a fair few.

i say 4-5 scorps because i originally put 5 in there but have only seen 4 at a time as they are so small and huddled amongst rocks etc all the time.

I find the way i feed them more realistic to nature (although maybe they dont quite get THAT much food, the reason i put so much in though is to minimise cannibalism between the colony.

For one scorpion, a few crickets once a week is more than enough, and probably more like what they get in the wild.

And vica versa. My emperor will only eat prekilled morios (well, in the few months I have had her), not crickets, or live anything... silly sod.
