It doesnt need to eat everyday, not even every week. They thrive better on a low and slow feeding schedule. I feed my spiders (depending on the size) once a week clear up to once a month. I never deal with spiders fasting or not eating due to premolt. I hardly ever see that. Spiders can only grow so fast. Soon you will be posting "why isnt my spider eating". Well because its waiting for its growth cycle to catch up to molt. Just a little info to help you out...:T:
