Active after molting

[Perentie]

Hello!
So today my new juvenile Phlogius sp. Kuranda molted into 5th instar. After a few hours, she's become very active. Is it normal for young a young T to be very active a few hours after molting? I've only read that after a mature/older T molts they'll be lazy for a few days as they need time for their exoskeleton to harden. I've also read that you have to wait a few days after they molt to feed them for the same reason. Would it be ok to attempt to feed my T now since she's active, or should I wait a few days like you would with a mature T?

(Note that she isn't sexed, I'm just hoping she's a female haha)

Wait at least a week to feed after a molt, longer with adults - they need time for their fangs to harden up (turn from white to black)

Also, here's something for you to consider

Underfeed vs overfeed

I am happy to share my observations, and philosophies, accumulated from keeping and feeding tarantulas in re feeding frequency. If you read no further; less is more when it comes to feeding tarantulas. Tarantulas are wild animals, they are not domesticated, and like most animals are...
