Hey guys and girls. This is the picture of my spider, Luke. The second picture is his cage. He hasn't eaten in like 3 weeks and I'm getting worried. He hasn't eaten crix or pinkie (too small for a pinkie). Should I try super worms?
My pictures.

Could be in pre-molt, you never know. As long as the abdomen looks okay and it has access to water I wouldn't worry.
My A. avicularia went a couple of months without eating and then finally started again (no molting). You may want to consider making the enclosure a little more "snug" so that the spider feels more secure. I don't know exactly what you have in there, but you may want to add some corkbark or something else to attach its web to.
I have mine in a 10 gallon and it did a little better when I reduced the amount of open space.

Be sure to give him at least a few days to harden up before you try and feed him again. Congrats on the molt.
