I would start with fresh killed then try moving to f/t. You should feed him every 7-10 days (but some will only eat every other week) a meal that is 15% of his body weight (so a 100 gram snake should get 15 grams of rodent)

A cheap kitchen scale is all that's necessary for this. I got mine for $15

Making sure that you provide the right temperatures and humidity is the best way to make sure that your snake will eat.

The 10-15% rule really only applies to younger snakes. I would never feed my adult male a 150g-225g rat (he's ~1600g). Adult males typically only ever need small rats once per week (50-80g). However, I definitely second the need for a scale to track his weight and know the size of what you're feeding. I would personally attempt to switch from live mice to live rats first, and then try to switch from live to pre-killed, then F/T. This way, if you only succeed in the first step, then at least you are only having to feed one rat per week instead of multiple mice.
