I've been feeding live rat pups to my ball since I got him. Haven't had an issue yet (knocks on wood). I've been considering switching to either FT or fresh kill (they do that all my local reptile store). But im worried of having this issue since it's used to live prey. I don't want to spook the snake and have it go in a strike. I also worry about a larger rat getting a hold of my snake. The rat pups are relatively small and I keep an eye in the tank as it strikes. If his mouth gets too close to my snake, I stick a screwdriver in there to make space.
