Just try it. Sometimes aggressive eaters switch np. My normal switched over no problem at around 1K grams.

It depends on the snake.
I've had adults and hatchlings convert to f/t very easily, and some not so much.
I havnt found any consistancy in saying adults or juvys are easier to convert.

I would start by offering pre killed prey for a couple weeks. Then try f/t. Make sure the body of the rodent is warm enough, this is the biggest reason my snakes dont like f/t is if the temps are off. Just try the good old zombie dance and see what happenes.
If they wont strike at it you can also try just leaving it on the hot spot overnight and see if they will take it themselves.

It takes patience and consistancy to switch a snake to f/t if the snake is picky. Or it can work out no problem.
Hope this helps, good luck!

my girl only eats her frozen rats if I blow dry it, I focus on the face so it's extra warm and catches her attention.
