If you want the rat to possibly cause quite serious injuries to the monitor, feed live...
Varanus ornatus, like ALL the African varanids has blunt teeth, no chance of "tearing it up", and it takes a split second for something to go wrong. F/k or f/t is best.
If the prey is around the size of the head and neck, the monitor should have no problem swallowing it.
