my spider is more interested in dead prey?

my jumper had been ignoring her food for over a week every time i offered but she looked hungry. she’d look interested for a minute but decide to just crawl away and ignore it. i offered different size worms and some that were more active and she still didn’t care for them. i also tried small dubia roaches i keep for my frogs but she didn’t care for them. i saw online that people sometimes offered a mealworm with its head cut off and it worked! i offered her a couple (the mealworms i have are pretty small, and one wasn’t filling for her) and she took each of them excitedly and ate them! i was surprised she also took it from the tongs since i’ve only had her about a month and didn’t think she trusted me enough, i’m so happy she finally ate <3
