There are issues with feeding F/T as well. If you look for it you can find horror stories for just about anything. At the end of the day you have to do whats best for you and your snake. Feeding live can be done safely if you know your animal and you are feeding the right size rodents. You will find the occasional freak accident can happen but that is true of life. I guess what I am saying is that I wish you luck in switching to F/T its a great way to feed if you have a source of quality rodents. If your snake won't switch at first, keep at it, but don't think you are a bad keeper for feeding live if too much time passes.
