I don't like feeding f/t rats, they lose a lot of moisture when your thawing and warming them up, which can lead to some constipation issues, as well as their growth seems to do better with non frozen, but I would never put a live rat with my snakes. I kill the rat right before giving it to them and then nudge it around a bit with the snake hook to make it a bit more lively. Also neither seem particularly interested in thawed. The nice thing is, if the don't eat the rat after it's been killed, you can freeze and use it next week if your ok with the occasional f/t or a different snake is more opening to eating f/t . (Personally I recommend vacuumed sealed)
