I got back and forth between live and f/t depending on what I have available. But for the most part everyone is offered f/t first (after they have been established) and then offered live if they don't take the f/t that week. Some eat f/t every week.

I always recommend that people try live for an animal's first meal in a new home. Just to make sure it's eating. Snakes can be picky about f/t as well. Some prefer higher quality f/t rodents than some people buy and other snakes will eat anything lol

Hope that helps!
