If your BP is eating F/T than keep it on that unless of course you wish to feed live.
Switching back and forth is not recommended simply because there is always a risk that the animal won't switch back.
Since the female did not go for it I would have her on live until she eats with consistency.
Also even if she refuses next time I would skip assisting her and give her more time, assisting is stressful.
she was a rat eater when you got her correct?

So true. I'll take what I can get, lol. But they're both looking pretty good so I'll put in the extra effort.

The breeder swore they were on f/t and had eaten (I didn't think to ask whether they were assit fed or not), but I really think he probably just hatched them out and brought them to the expo to sell.  Poor things.
As for my girl, I'll let her be a little longer next time. I was just so concerned because they are so small.

And it's possible they were on f/t and likely eating on their own since breeder keep them in very small spaces for added security, however I have had animal even hatchling eating a certain type prey for me an than when with their new owner refusing it.
