My KSB came to me eating f/t, but this past spring he quit hitting them (he wasn't a year old yet and wasn't nearly as big as I'd been told he should be) and adamantly refused every offering, even when I brained it and confined him with it in a deli cup. After two months of his not eating and starting to lose weight, I caved and threw him a live hopper. He hit it so fast that it made my heart sing. Now I'm feeding live and don't even have to show him it's there, I just put it in his feeding bowl and he comes and gets it, as the saying is. I may try to get him back on f/t some day, but probably not until he reaches full growth. His breeder told me that the parents were both small but he (my snake) has only just got to 13 inches and 62 g, so he's got a ways to go.
