Has your guy been feeding consistently? I had a picky hatchling who would only eat live mice. I got her to eat a f/t once early on, but it took a 20 minute zombie dance to get her to take it. Since that was too much work, I put her back on live mice, got her feeding consistently every week for 2-3 months, and then one day I offered her a f/t rat I heated up for my albino... she took it like a champ without hesitation. She is now my best eater. Maybe you just need to get him used to eating consistently first, but if he already is, I'd go 3 weeks before caving in with a young bp (meaning if the 3rd time I offer him a f/t he refuses, I'd get him live that day), or 2 weeks with one <150g, just to be safe.
