an update on the scorplings:)...
I thought they were toast for sure 2 days ago but then miraculously they started to move around more....and it seems that every day the little guys are becoming more active....Im keeping my fingers crossed and hopefully they will pull through this delicate stage:)

Wow! What a pleasant suprise to have. :) Good luck with the little ones. :)

thanks Erin:)...at this point unfortunately I think one is done....I suspected this from the start...it had a hard time keeping itself upright because its body was severly arched and its pincers were off to one side. I had my doubts about it but didn't want to put it down either. The other one is still active and its body looks like a miniature version of an adult..I'm noticing it legs are moving around more too...I don't want to be to hopeful but I am a little..

Yve,
Did they fall off of the mother???? Usually if they fall off before the first molt they will die...... I hope they pull through for you.....

hey Gregg, what you've said is what I've been told so far thats why I don't have much hope....but I've managed to sustain the babies for two weeks...and although the one is perishing the other is very alert and active...but I won't be surprised if the later dies...its been an interesting experience regardless.

Well, all I can say is "Good luck!"

I hope that they all turn into healthy adult scorps. They sure are super cute right now!

Well, good luck :)
