Question
it has not eaten in three weeks yhere are no sighns od it molting


Answer
Hey Charlotte

It's not uncommon for all tarantulas to go on sometime month long binges of not eating. As long as the rest of their behavior stays the same, it shouldn't be a worry. Keep offering a few crickets every 5 days or so. Some people have tried a slight change in diet by picking up some giant mealworms.
