So with the advice of some on the board, I bought a live adult mouse and asked the pet store for some used rat bedding. As soon as I brought the rat bedding in the room my BP came out of his hide as I could tell he knew the smell. Since the mice had been in a box with rat bedding, they smelled like the rats he had been eating. I got the mouse on the tongs and I could no more than put it in the box before he struck it.

Are there potential dangers in feeding live? Sure.

Would I rather feed f/t? Eh, doesn't really matter to me now.

The important thing to me is that he eats. Sometimes you just gotta try different things.
Why would you take snake eating rats and swap them to mice...kinda backward isnt it?
