If it is a female ready for mating, give her a male black widow spider, then after mating she can enjoy feeding on him as a post-copulatory snack!
Crickets found at any bait shop are perfect food for them. Just tell them you only need one, and get ready for a good confused look. Replace every 2-4 months as the cricket carcass gets discarded.

Do black widows jump?
No, not as a descriptive physical attribute. Black Widows are of the "Web-Family" of spiders. Meaning they spin a sticky silk web to catch their prey. They are not built to scurry along solid environments and "jump" after their prey. "Jumping" spiders live on the land, in trees, under rocks, etc. They will often have hairy bodies. Larger and stronger, with longer legs just made for jumping. And will. But almost always, they are after food. Not you.It's a good thing for us that Black Widow are not natural jumpers, but prefer to be left alone in a tangle of webbing. Only the female, with the red hourglass, is venomous. The non-poisonous males are often eaten by the females after mating. Hence the name, "Black Widow."
What are facts black widows?
The Black Widow spider is the most poisonous spider in North America, but only the adult female. The female Black Widow is easy to recognize (if you care to get that close) by the red hourglass shape on the underneath part of her abdomen. She has a shiny black body with various types of red markings on the top, depending on the species. There are about five species of Black Widow spiders in North America. The black widow will grow to about 8-10mm. Black Widows will lay up to 400 eggs at a time, but they are known to be cannibals, which means that they will eat each other. The Black Widow has unfairly earned a bad reputation for wanting to eat her mate. She will only eat her mate when she mistakes him for a meal! The silk of this spider is known to be the strongest of all silk. The Black Widow spider does not spin the pretty webs, instead she will spin the thick jumbles looking cobweb. These webs catch beetles, flies, grasshoppers, moths and other spiders. These spiders, although a little scary, have enemies, as well. A few wasps can sting and paralyze, before eating the Black Widow. She is also a favorite food of the Praying Mantis. Some birds will eat these spiders but could end up with an upset stomach from her poisons. The bright red markings on her belly will warn possible predators that she is a nasty meal.
How do black widow spiders eat there food?
Like many other spiders, the jaw parts of black widow spiders are too small and delicate to chew up their prey. So these spiders pump digestive juices into the bodies of their prey. After a while, the digestive fluids will have liquified all the digestible content inside the prey's exoskelaton, and then the spider sucks the fluid back into its own body. Some other kinds of spiders have more robust chelicerae (the parts that are terminated by the fangs), and they have tooth-like protrusions on them. These spiders use their chelicerae to chew up the bodies of prey, adding digestive juices in the process, and so they are able to get nutrition from parts of the prey bodies that black widows can't get at.
