Super worms

How do u feed ur scorps super worms? Every time i toss one in they burrow and i dont think the scorps get em, and every time there out and i try and hand feed, the vibrations from me openening the tank spook them and they run back to their burrow on the double.

i ussually just put the worm in front of the scorp's burrow and the worms goes right in and they get it.

I don't feed them superworms, but I've heard some put them in a small very shallow dish.

I tie it with a string and then dangle it in front of my scorp.

Messy things, bleed everywere. To efectivly feed them to scorps you need to drop it right in front of them or place it on/in a shallow container. I clamp them in a pair of tweezers untill the scorp has a good hold then release it.

I have not tried these yet. I have heard they are messy.

As long as there in a dish they should be fine, but over time they will move about. But they do turn into beatles, could a scorp eat them ?

I do feed them, but rarely. Some of my scorpions don't like them (don't know how to handle them), but others will eat them, even "catch" them when I drop them close (C. gracilis for example).

My tarantula on the other hand, pulls them out of the substrate (see: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2006/04/26/ )

What ive heard to do is put them in a dish and make it ground level with the substrate.

I've noticed that they drink from the water dish now and then, so if you notice them after a few days that way, you might want to take them out and try another scorpion.
