Lily is our 11 week old Yorkie so I am afraid she will be overly curious and try to eat or play with the scorpion!!
Yes, be very watchful of her as they will play with dead or dying and living bugs. I have not had any of mine stung yet, but if a human baby gets stung they do need to be taken to the emergency room as the neuro-toxin is too strong for them. Adult humans just have to suffer!!LOL I have heard that the diatomaceous earth works also. I also put down glue traps for them.
