I don't remember how the last feeding went, other than he ate. lol. I panic pretty easily so if something was off or I felt that there was a problem with the feeding or him, I'd definitely remember that. I warm my rats straight in water and he's always eaten them that way. Should I try another way of warming it?

If I do decide to try live and he refuses that, I'll give it to one of my others. I don't have the heart to kill it myself and I can't keep a rat for however long it takes him to start eating again. This might be a silly question, but if I do give it to one of the others, will they start refusing f/t and only want live?
Well I warm up my F/T by taking the ziploc bag they're sitting in and putting it in hot water to thaw out and then I just warm the head with the heat lamp.

There's no definite yes or no on whether or not your snake will then only take live if you feed it live. I've never had a problem switching between one or the other but my cinny will eat anything you put in front of him, live or f/t. I'd probably find the best eater in the bunch and let it eat the live rat if you really can't kill it yourself. I would never try switching to mice unless it was my last resort. And clearly your boy is a breeding size male so I'd never be that desperate unless he lost a lot of weight and refused a live rat first.
