have you tried leaving severed cricket abdomens in its web? Or mealworm segments? My Iridopelma babies have never taken anything live besides fruitflies.. but if I cut up crickets or mealworms, I literally watch them walk across, smell the guts, and pull it up to their mouths.

What types of prey have you offered it? :?

Edit: I missed the part about crickets.. Just try leaving something pre killed or injured in the web. Inspect its fangs closely for damage. It may have lost them in the last molt or they could be stuck closed.
