A few questions:
What kind of tarantula is it?
What are you trying to feed it?
When did it molt last?

Idk my friend found it in the wild.
I'm trying to feed her with those worms in the second pictures.
Idk. I caught it 4 weeks ago and it didnt molt in these weeks.

I know that it lost it "hair ass" bcuz my friend caught it wearing gloves and it tried to defende itself...

Try crickets or roaches as food. Or something similar, grasshoppers, katydids, moths. Sometimes tarantulas can go for long periods without food for various reasons. It could be in pre-molt, it could be a mature male looking for a mate, or a number of other things. Just make sure you provide a shallow water dish. Good luck.

provide water this way?

i'll buy some bigger worm to check if she eat it... what is that white thing in the glass(first picture)?

 

[HungryGhost]

That should work. The white in the first picture might be poop but I'm not sure.
