My grammostola pulchra is still refusing to eat and hasn't molten yet. She/he was in there hide last night where I thought she was gonna molt but when I woke up this morning she was in defense mode and she now tried to attack something but I'm not sure what.

What should I do, is there something I should be trying to do. This is my first spider ever and I'm not sure why they are acting like this.

Just make sure there is water available at all times and try feeding once a week and I'm sure things will be fine.
Tarantulas do things that seem odd to us and often worry us but they usually know what they're doing.

Think of feeding as being similar to climbing Mount Everest. George Mallory, one of the first British men to attempt to climb Everest, once said the reason he climbed Everest was. "Because it's there."

Think of tarantulas as refusing food because they can & don't start to worry about the refused food until around a year.
