Has she ever eaten for a long period of time since you had her? If so, don't worry about it.

well maybe you should try crickets, my scorpion wouldnt take them at first, then I kept putting it in his face and he grabed it and put it in his mouth. I guess you can say I was force feeding him.

Not all scorps take meal worms...... I would go with crickets...... They never turn down crickets.....

hey brooklyn,
Have you tried crickets yet? Also, how big is your asian forest scorpion? The mealworm might be too small. But if its not too small what you can do is take a pair of scissors and snip off the top of the mealworms head, squeeze out some of the insides, take a pair of tweezers and put the "gutted" part on the scorpions mouth. It should take it, i found out with most scorpions (especially asian forest and emperors) tend to eat more readily when the guts of their prey are exposed.




Thanks,
Ben
