Superworm to big?

I have a 3" almost 4" inch brachypelma hamorii. Is a large super worm too big for her, she ate a freshly molted medium one. I got them with her when I bought her and he said just to crush the head and give it to her butt I tried that and she didn't take it, or do I just wait longer inbetween feedings because its a larger meal. Also here's a pic, her name is Pumpkin.

Really nothing to worry about here. I have 4 of these from adult to sling and they never had any issues with the size of their preys.
At the size of yours mine were already eating full size adult dubbias. Just take the super worm out if she doesn’t take it right away as they have a tendency to dig and disappear right away in the substrate.
You have a beautiful one, enjoy.
