Congrats! I just wait til they all come off, you can feed the female with babies on her back, or on the ground around her.

I put my females in the container i raise the babies in, let them come off, then remove the mom back to her adult enclosure. If the babies are in the adult enclosure..you're going to be busy for awhile, getting them all out, lol

It was in her container, so ya i will have to try to catch them all,

Can i raise the scorpling togther or should i break them up?

I raise them together until third instar, then separate them. Young ones cant resist a moulting brother or sister, from what ive seen with my gracilis, hentzi and H cyaneus. Ive kept three Rh. junceus together and suprisingly they're doing fine at 4th instar. I seperated three others individually as a fall back, turns out it wasnt necessary for these three. I have a feeling im pushing my luck though
