Abortion refers to the premature delivery of the scorpion before the due date. Immature, so the vitality is very poor, it is difficult to survive, resulting in reduced production.

【Causes】

Pregnant scorpions were kept too densely, squeezing and biting each other; When the pregnant scorpion is grasped manually, the abdomen is squeezed with too much force, and these mechanical injuries will lead to miscarriage. Pregnant scorpions are suddenly frightened by noises, stimulated by special smells, and also lead to miscarriage when they catch cold. Pregnant scorpions will also miscarry if they eat moldy, spoiled, pesticide-contaminated food and drinking water or irritating drugs. In addition, miscarriages often occur in the presence of infectious diseases.

【Symptoms】

During the incubation period of scorpions, pregnant scorpions are impatient, crawling back and forth in a panic, and produce immature baby scorpions , but soon died.

【Prevention and Control】

Miscarriage is mostly caused by poor feeding and management, so as long as preventive work is done and feeding management is strengthened, the occurrence of miscarriage can be prevented . There is no specific drug treatment, and it is difficult to treat. 1. Maintain good ecological conditions for pregnant scorpions, provide suitable humidity and an excellent external environment, and prevent noise and strong light from drying up. 2. Provide nutritious, clean, non-polluting food and drinking water. If you get sick, you should get treatment as soon as possible. 3. Reduce the stocking density of pregnant scorpions, the transportation volume should not be too much, and the vibration during transportation should be reduced.

Stillbirth is a common disease in scorpions during their breeding season. The occurrence of stillbirth greatly reduces its reproductive rate. Stillbirth is when a pregnant scorpion gives birth to a dead embryo (juvenile scorpion).

【Causes】

Female scorpions that are mismatched every other year or consecutive years, the quality of calving decreases, producing weak juvenile scorpions and dead sperm eggs ; Long-term lack of food, I drink water, so that the embryo cannot get enough nutrients and interrupt its development, or due to the aging of the pregnant scorpion, its tissue and organ functions degenerate, and the body fluids are imbalanced. In addition, if the pregnant scorpion suffers mechanical damage or other physical damage, the chemical will stimulate, and it will also produce stillbirth.

[Symptoms]

All the scorpions that are born are dead scorpions, some of them are large juvenile scorpions, and some are small and unformed. Dead sperm eggs: round and beige, 1 mm in diameter, formed due to sperm death or embryo death. Weak sperm juvenile scorpion: It is a newborn scorpion that is basically formed when it is delivered out of the body, but is not fully mature. It dies before it is placed on the back. Usually, it is delivered at the same time as the dead sperm and eggs.

【Prevention and Control】

1. Postpartum female scorpions should mate in time and the ratio of male and female should be appropriate, so that female scorpions can be paired with seeds in time; 2. It is the pregnancy period The female scorpion creates a suitable living environment to avoid dryness and lack of food; 3. Strengthen daily management to avoid accidental damage to the seed scorpion, and it is forbidden to use the aging female scorpion as the seed scorpion.
