Scorpions stop eating for several weeks to months before they molt and molt upright, not on there backs like spiders. Also they become weak looking and may not move much because they become very fragile and can become injured really easily. Also they need higher humidity and temperatures to have a sucessful molting period in this isnt done right they can die or even have a unsucessful molt in general.

It depends on your setup, temperature, and humidity. They don't eat for several days around molting time. Here is more info:
