When to feed?

My Lasiodora Parahybana sling molted 5 days ago. When is she able to be fed? I don't want to feed too soon, but she acts like she's starving to death. She's been wandering her enclosure all day, and when I filled her water bowl she pounced at it like she does her prey. Keep in mind though she is a glutton who never passes up a meal. If she had a tinder profile, it would only be to go on dates for the free food, she definitely wouldn't call you back.

I usually give at least a week after molting to feed, and usually a soft roach (B lat) or worm for a first meal. Larger spiders I might wait 2 weeks until their fangs are completely dark.

Make sure to always offer water in a dish and and in their webbing.
