Hey, hey!!!
My 3 years old Brachypelma, is not eating for two weeks now. I keep introducing cockroaches or grasshoppers (obviously taking out the ignored ones time by time)but she just ignore them all. Is this normal?
I rehoused her in a bigger and deeper terrarium so she could dig more..She initially ate in the new environment, couple of times, and now she is having a strike. What could it be?
Thanks for you time, guys!

It is quite normal for tarantulas to fast for a period of time. It’s fine 2 weeks is nothing for them. I had a T. albopilosus that went nearly two years without eating.
