First feeding advice

[rettev]

Hi everyone I am a first time ball python owner as of last Friday. I plan on offering food for the first time tonight, but I don't have access to what she was eating before. I was told she was eating live rat hoppers but I can only get frozen rats or live mice. Just wondering what someone with a little more experience would do off the bat?

Pictures will come later when I get to start handling her!

Thanks!
David

I would try f/t. I like it because it's more convenient for me to keep a supply of frozen rats that to deal with live ones. Cheaper too!! I have a small fridge with freezer in my garage that I keep stocked up!

If she is on rats already I would keep her on them.
