I am working on the transition myself. My breeder only fed live and the first time I tried F/T he took it. Then he showed no interest. I offered a couple fresh kills. The first time it took a while for him to take it. After a few he started hitting them as soon as I put them in. I think he is in shed cycle so I haven't offered a F/T yet but the way he has been eating the fresh killed I hope now he will take the F/T just as quick. You might give that a try.
