Why does my female jumping spider wrap herself up in webs. She does this when I don't feed her for more than 10 days but when I look it up it doesn't tell me. i don't know if its because shes hungry or what

These are pretty active hunters in the wild, seeing many possible prey items daily unless it's winter. Maybe it thinks it's time to hibernate if it doesn't see any food for 10 straight days. Just a guess.

It’s normal. They build retreats to hang out in. It gives them a place to hide when they aren’t active to avoid predators

Why would you not feed her for 10 days, that’s too long.
If she’s an adult she won’t moult again so you should be offering food every 3/4 days.
