A spiderling can last weeks without food. Spiders endure long fasting without dying, and some large species survive months.
Spiderlings molt about monthly and stop eating before molting. As a molt nears, the body color dulls, the rear darkens, and belly hair sheds slightly, so you can stop feeding then.
