Newbie Scorpion attention problem 1: How to start a scorpion breeder

The first thing to do when raising scorpions is to determine the scale and method of breeding. The scale of introduction should not be too large at the beginning of raising, generally as few as three or five hundred, and as many as two or three thousand are appropriate. If the number of scorpions is too small, the management cost is relatively high, and if the number of scorpions is too large, it is easy to cause accidental losses due to poor management due to lack of experience. In terms of breeding methods, from the perspective of the breeding environment, it can be divided into indoor scorpion breeding and outdoor scorpion breeding. The first-time breeder should choose the indoor scorpion breeding method; from the perspective of breeding tools, there are bottle breeding, pot breeding, box breeding, pool breeding, etc. Pit raising, etc., it is best for new breeders to use pot raising when introducing seeds, and then transition to pit raising or pond raising. In addition, scorpion raising is divided into normal temperature and constant temperature. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, which can be selected according to their own situation. In addition to this, attend training and visit farms. Although scorpion farming is not complicated, it is a very meticulous work. Many details are difficult to express in words, and it is difficult to understand thoroughly just by looking at the data. Those who want to raise scorpions must receive systematic training, and visit and study on the site of professional farms, in order to truly master the technology of raising scorpions.

Beginners should pay attention to the second question: why are scorpions easy to die

According to the survey, the main reason why scorpions are prone to disease and death is that the first-time adopters do not know much about it. The living habits of scorpions will not adjust scorpion raising techniques according to climatic conditions. Especially in the northern region, the temperature in winter and spring is abnormal, sometimes dropping to about 10 °C, sometimes rising to above 20 °C, making it difficult for scorpions to adapt, resulting in a large number of scorpions getting sick and dying (commonly known as spring death); in addition, in late spring and early summer, There is a lot of rain, the air humidity is high, the food is easy to mildew, and the newly awakened scorpion likes to overeat, and it is easy to die in large numbers due to indigestion and other reasons. In addition, scorpions are extremely sensitive to various odors. Some scorpion breeders often bring abnormal smells such as perfume, wine, medicine, and odor into the scorpion room, disturbing the scorpion's olfactory system and causing the scorpion to get sick. To this end, scorpion owners must carefully observe the scorpion's living habits, carefully ponder and take care of it, fully understand what the scorpion likes and dislikes, and then try to meet its requirements for the environment and food.
