Your Blue should take frozen/thawed without complaint. My juvenile Blues are more high strung at feed time than my Taiwans were at the same age, but they took frozen/thawed from their very first meal. I feed my Blues out of their enclosure, primarily because I can't keep an eye on both of them with the enclosure opened. They tend to be pretty high-strung so they'll tail-rattle and gape their mouths in defense - they even musk slightly - anyway, they will lunge and bite at the offered f/t fuzzy mouse a few times but always end up striking and then going into eating mode. They don't even constrict the food, they just start swallowing it. I always keep a second f/t fuzzy ready so I can get it in their mouth just as they're finishing the first.
