So i have had my emp. for about 4 months and have yet to see it eat anything.Now I have read that some scorps go without eating for some time but this guy is just about 2.5 in. and has no fat.Is it possible he doesn't like crickets?:?

is it 2.5 inches from tip to tail? or just the body of the scorp? Also have you tried killing the cricket first and hand feeding it with some tweezers or tongs. That's what I do for my emp. You could also try feeding it a meal worm, just don't feed it too many too often since meal worms are high in fat, where as crickets are high in protein.

hope this helps a little.

nothing to worry about. I've had emps fast on me for over a year before.
