my jumping spider won't eat

[Den]

I got a jumping a few days ago and it won't eat the crickets I throw in there. It's a female Platycryptus Undatus, tan jumper, and she is about .5 inches long. The crickets are the same size. help.

Maybe get something a quarter of her size?
Here's some photo's of an adult female i had feeding that might help, really wish i could get these again someday

I have one that I caught in my house around Christmas. It took her a couple weeks to be eating well for me. I give her pinhead crickets. She's eating weekly now.

you think she'll eat prey her size, or a little bigger?? if not, that's not a problem. I got smaller crickets.

Feed according to abdomen size. Mine hasn't eaten in 3 months and is doing fine. If I feed her anymore, I doubt she will be able to move.

Does she look like she needs food?
