A short summary here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A scorpion is an ambush predator, so it will eat literally anything up to its own size. In captivity, roaches are usually enough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are what you eat! You have to take good care of your feeder insects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turkish roaches are useful, but also problematic because of their speed, risk of infesting your home, and intelligence \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dubia roaches are great \u2014 they eat a lot, so you can easily load them up with nutrients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crickets are too loud to keep in smaller apartments. They\u2019re also very&#8230; bloodthirsty \ud83d\ude09 and can harm scorpions during molting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Madagascar hissing cockroach are great for bigger species, but they\u2019re also very cute, so be warned that feeding time can feel pretty sad \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope my video will be useful for beginners.
