So any molts we find from & thus including, the last feeding day onwards. Do not get fed.  We have never had an issue.  But just to say. We do feed our T's, nice soft crickets & we do leave our larger ladies, for example stirmi's/ LP's. for two weeks after a molt. As we assume, they may take a little longer. Feeding takes two of us, two hours. So this keeps things simple & has worked well for us.  But a T can go months without food. So two weeks without a cricket/mealworm/roach. Is no problem at all, if you want to leave it that long. We keep a molt diary & never feed without checking the diary.</blockquote>
