Redclaw scorpion not eating

Second Instar
My scorpion has not eaten in like a month and is afraid of the crickets. It has water to drink. H* (I dont know what gender my scorpion is) is also afraid of crickets. I bought the scorpion in august and it is 3 cm long with the tail. My other invertebrates do not have any problems with eating. Do young scorpions want to eat other insects than crickets? And is it normal for scorpions to stop eating for long periods of time?

My other invertebrates do not have any problems with eating.

The picture shows what it looks like now.

Have you tried dead crickets that it might not be afraid of, maybe held in tweezers?

You can get maggots for fishing bait, maybe try a few of them? They're very soft and bad at getting away from things, and they're small. 

 
I have tried dead crickets, and it will not eat them, and i use a tweezer. I might try fishing bait maggots. Thanks for the answer  :lol:

 
Well I don't know much about scorpions, but that guy looks a little fat. Maybe he's just not hungry?

 
It is eating now. I gave it a younger and smaller cricket that doesnt have so hard exoskeleton  :lol:
