You switch to f/t same way as before...by offering when the snake is hungry and feeding well. A warm item with a little bit of movement (with your help) may help. Sometimes a snake that has gone off food will accept a prey item from it's past, so to speak. When one of mine fasts for awhile, going backwards on the food scale (from rats to mice, or fuzzies to pinkies for example) sometimes works. While frozen/thawed is best for many reasons, some snakes never fully take to dead prey. Just keep an eye on the live ones and never leave them alone with your snake. Duffy
