Switching to f/t

[chairman]

I picked up a new female ball python at an expo a couple weeks ago. She was around 150g and the breeder fed her live appropriately sized rats. The breeder is reputable and the snake looked good so I figured I'd try to swap her to f/t.

For a timeline, the snake ate at the breeder's on a Sunday. I purchased her the following Sunday, so a week without food. She was in shed until a couple days past her first week with me so I ended up offering her the first meal about two weeks after I got her. She refused the f/t rat. The following week I offered another f/t rat, which she refused even though I brained it. So now we're approaching week 6 of no food so I offer her a f/t mouse instead... took it enthusiastically. The next week (the most recent weekend) she takes another f/t mouse enthusiastically.

My question now is do I give her another f/t mouse this weekend to get that first 3 feedings accomplished OR do I go with a mouse-scented rat and see if she refuses? The snake appears to be in good health, hasn't lost weight or anything.
