I'm not sure I understand your question.
Do you mean that you feed the L. striatus a small mealworm (that it ate) and then tried again within a few hours with a larger food item that the tarantula didn't eat?

Have you tried cutting the mealworms into smaller pieces?

I would recommend prekilling the food items and leaving them in there overnight for the tarantula to scavenge on.
Not eating for a few days/weeks (sometimes months) is completely normal for tarantulas

Pre-kill the feeders first. Chop them into small pieces if need be. Also, those holes look a bit big. If they are larger than the carapace, they can squeeze through.
