A spider of that size shouldnt be eating daily. Try feeding once or at the most twice a week with a few crickets at a time rather than daily. I feed adults and large juvies once a week and slings twice weekly.
All spiders are different with some fasting for a few months prior to moulting while others (like my L. para) feeds right up until a week or so before a moult. Normally a T gets sluggish in premoult especially as it gets closer to moulting. You should also see the abdomen turn really dark a few days or so before it moults.

They will refuse feed depending on size and shed!
salmons are hugely greedy so give them the chance
