Personally, I'd try to find a couple of rats from a local pet store first even if they're a little more expensive per rat. That way, if she won't take it, you don't have a freeze full of rats you can't use.
    That is really good advice, thank you! I am hoping she transitions for me, but of course, it's her choice, not mine.

    I was actually thinking that that would be so nice to be able to do, but alas, I do not know another person in the area with a bp. I need to convert some friends....

    you should make visible where you live on your profile and perhaps make a post seeing if there is someone in there area. I am willing to bet there is at least 1 or 2.

    im super lucky, over here I accidentally stumbled onto a local website sells what I need at 1.30$ a piece compared to a pet shop that sells for 5.50$ he even does free delivery. I do not buy in bulk

    I'm kind of new to BP but I think I have heard before on this site that keeping him on mice for life would be OK. That is what I would do if I could get them for free. I think feeding live has its advantages as well.
    I have a 4' BP and he eats 2 adult mice per week. He seems to be doing quite well on them.
    Keep the freezer for yourself
