My GBB fasts for a long time before a molt, up to two months.
Even when it was a tiny speck (now it's about 4 cm bl) it had long periods without feeding.
Two weeks is nothing I think.
The phases of inactivity are also nothing to worry about IMO, sometimes they do nothing for weeks, then they suddenly start eating or webbing again!

My GBB is still somewhat small about 2.5" anyway it has always had taken a 2-3 week fasting period before molting.
