For him to be at 350 grams at 6-8 months he had to eat well for the original breeder.
I would bet he would eat a lot more often if the was consistently fed live. Not all of them will be great feeders on FT. Have you tried leaving a FT rat with him overnight? The only way to find out if he will make crappy feeding babies is to try breeding him. If his babies are a pain to feed then maybe it would be best not to breed him anymore if you a really concerned with producing strong feeders.
