Those are cool! What does one feed scorpions and centipedes?

Quote:
 . These scorpions are all Buthids (a small family of maybe 25 scorpions that all have the capacity to kill a human) that inhabit the arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa, from Mauritania to Pakistan, and are adapted to survive extended periods of time without food and water. Once they are fattened up on crickets, they will eat almost nothing, killing any crickets I offer them but refusing to eat them. I'd really like to start breeding the first species, the Leiurus quinquestriatus, known as the Egyptian Deathstalker Scorpion! . Great scorpion species, especially for photographing! Centipedes, on the other hand, won't stop eating, and they will literally eat anything that they can kill. Larger species can eat beetles, mice, snakes, bats, etc.

Amazing! Very powerful creatures. I feel sorry for the crickets and live animals they are fed. I'm just like that, what can I say? 😊 But why do they kill crickets after they're full and not going to eat them?
