I call it a roller-coaster feeder!  My understanding is roseas are much the same. If you're prone to worry over a T that refuses to eat for months on end, maybe start with a good-eater. My G. pulchra, GBB, & especially my B. vagans are GREAT eaters...I've  been gently chastised for over-feeding. The ONLY time they refuse is pre-molt. In fact, the B. vagans tags crickets that get too close pre-molt & kicks said-prey out of its burrow to die.Rosie's are also kinda' pet rocks; my vagans & pulchra are both very active slings...esp. the vagans.  Besides, vagans are more inexpensive than roseas...not that price determines inherrent value...but it does make it a great gateway tarantula.</blockquote>
