Stop breeding? I don't have a lot of experience but from what I've seen starting them on live mouse hoppers is really the way to go. Switching them over to frozen and then to rats can be slow but it should happen eventually. It's best to wait until they have a really strong feeding response with a given type of food. Then they should readily take another type of food without really thinking about it (or at least that's what I've noticed).
