Hi I recently got an emperor scorpling, after being fascinated by them, I can’t seem to get it to eat anything? And it hides a lot of the time? Is this normal behaviourbor am I doing something wrong

Only have an adult scorpion and the only thing I can think to ask is do you have your little Emp on some damp substrate and scorpions don't need to be fed as much as your average Tarantula. Never raised a scorpling so I am not much help. Hope you're little one eats for you soon though and best wishes!

Hi yeah, the conditions it’s in are really good, can only think it’s due to molt, and yeah it’s kept damp and warm, certainly seems happy enough mobile of night times etc

Nice. I only have a Pandipalpus Viatoris but would love to get an Emp to go with him/her.
