Go live.

If you are at all worried I'd try live at this point, and maybe even a small step up in size. My coastal is a terrible eater. She refuses live, she refuses quail, F/T it just depends on the day. Usually I have to wait at least 4 weeks to feed her.

When she was very young smaller prey didn't stimulate her so I used larger and that helped.

I think switching to F/T after she is established is going to be easy. I feel you want to at least get one meal in under your care so you can feel less stressed/frustrated yourself so pull out all the stops with enough time between tries obviously.

My coastal is as frustrating as the royal is here.
