I had an OBT years ago, it only refused food when it was in premolt.

I find Tarantulas can refuse food when disturbed too.

If you haven't changed anything and it's only been two weeks without eating you shouldn't worry.

You sure that's an OBT?

I’ve seen far to many of these “my T isn’t eating” posts. You can just scroll down and probably find someone who also asked this question

That is how OBT slings look. Expect big coloration changes as it grows.
Two weeks is not long in the life of a tarantula. Could be premolt. Wait and see. Wait much longer before worrying 👍
