Live to F/T

How easy is it to switch a baby over cause I got these 2 bees M and F, they are 2 or 3 months old and I got them at a month. The Male will only take Live well the Female has always just taken F/T, from the first time I got her

Easy. My female bp took f/t the first time i offered it, and that was 5 days after a live feeding, and she only had live before that.

It depends on the bp really. Try it out. If it doesn't work, occasionally offer f/t. Eventually it may start finding a liking for zombie mice/rats.

Well it was easy for me. :P

Please note that I am just throwing this out there as an option and I am not saying this is the right way to go about it.

Often, when people are powerfeeding, while a snake is eating they put another food item right up behind the first food item so that it goes into the snake's mouth while the snake is swollowing its first food item.

You could offer a smaller than normal live meal, then have a small thawed meal ready and trick the snake into eating it by using the powerfeeding method. This could get the snake to accept thawed food.
If you do decide to do this, please be careful and be sure you don't overfeed your snake or stress it out too much. The last thing you want is for it to throw its meal back up.
