Hey, I got a grammostola pulchra about a month ago and they haven't been eating. I have tried different foods. Now they have been just been laying down on there side or on their stomach for a couple of minutes then running around the enclosure. I'm not sure what to do or what they are doing. I'm not sure of the gender yet either.

She could still be settling in to her new home which looks fine. She looks healthy so I'd just keep her water topped up and try feeding her but remove uneaten food after 24 hours.

Yes, that would be best it will cause her less stress if she is moulting.
Should it be alive or dead. It would be dubias and I would have to kill it

I feed all of mine live but if you feel happier you can pre-kill them.
I'll feed alive and thank you for the help

With roaches, crush the head & drop on their backs. Like that, they move their feet rapidly & are more likely to get a good feeding response. A roach will live for several days without it's head & if you do not crush the head, there is a good chance that the roach will burrow & not be eaten or be removed.
I found very few of my T's would eat dubias. Which was a pain, as I had a colony of them.
