Stress behavior suggestions?

Stress behavior suggestions?

She's refusing food and showing signs to molt by laying flat on her dirt. If she's not doing that she's either in her hide or in this 4x4 position. Her abdomen is small and I'd like to feed her but she won't eat the crickets. Any suggestions?

Is she too fat?

Short story;

*Rose Haired tarantula for context*

She molted last month, I moved. She's been fed. Still giving me the 4x4 around her cage well after feeding and was acting very hungry looking for something in her enclosure. I got her ONE horn worm. LORD have mercy I think maybe she got too fat but I'm not sure she is my first tarantula. (She's actively eating still) I want to take the rest of the worm away from her but I also don't wanna stress her out more or have her hurt herself. Is she too big or is it okay? If she is too big what do I need to be careful of?

*** Also note I have ordered a new substrate but UPS lost the package and I have to order a new substrate again. So bear with me on that I'll be having more hiding enclosures in there for her when I have to replace the dirt again.
