Is it normal for a Salmon Pink Birdeater to refuse a meal? My girl's about 3inches now after her last molt 2weeks ago. Since then I've never stressed her out or anything. I just leave her be unless I try to feed her which is every once a week. I try to drop a super worm near her but she sort of freaks out and runs away. The super worm isn't even that big. I'm kind of worried why she's not eating when Salmon Pink's don't usually reject a meal :(

No need to worry.
If it doesn't appear to have molted damage, the spider just needs some more time.

I really don't think you need to worry, like others have said, try offering a cricket instead.

One of my G.pulchras has been in premolt for over 2 months refusing food, she has a big booty so I'm not worrying.
