Emperor scorpions regrouping after babies

[CheesenJamButty]

When our emperor female had babies we split her off into her own viv leaving the male in the original viv.
When can we rejoin the male with the family as he does seem to be lonely?
Ive attached a pic to show relative sizes.
If it's still not safe to mix them, can we move the female back with him and let the babies raise themselves?
The babies are feeding themselves on medium crickets (using their stingers, which surprised us) Theyre roaming away from mum more often but they still fly back when startled and mum is still defensive of them.
thanks

[img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img] What size are your babies?? How many times have they molted?? If they have molted atleast 2 times the babies should go in there own little cage and then you can return mom back to the male, watch for any fighting that may occur.. The babies should be raised each one to a small cage so they have a better chance at eatting and also growing, then when big enough can go in with the parents.. when introducing all babies back to the original cage with parents try to clean the cage out that day and rearange it so the parents dont try to eat the babies thinking there prey items, the cage being changed around will help to re astablish them all together... Hope this helps some my female emp scorp just had babies almost a week ago i have 12 babies left on board that havent had there first molt yet, had few more but mom ate one when she was eattin a crix and grabed the baby by mistake and one had no tail and was deformed it fell off her back and died.. But other than that so far so good on mine.... when mine have molted and are off moms back im gona seoerate the babies into there own little houses each in a seperate container.... Congrats on your babies and hope all goes well for you.... [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
