You might want to try changing it's diet, mealworms instead of chrickets perhaps.It might be ready to molt. Usually they refuse food a couple of weeks before they shed their old skin. Also, some refuse food during the winter months. Keep a supply of water available, but I would'nt worry too much. They usually regain their appetitie. >> Stay informed about: tarantula

Mealworms would be difficult to feed to a tarantula, if you want to try a substitute try cockroaches. I just got a pinkly in one of my Ts that recently moulted but the rest refuse food at the moment. It's most likely because it's winter, as JMNAGL mentioned.
