I would feed on the 7th day whatever prey item you choose.
Personally, since we've written off the breeder at this point my guess is it's used to eating live and I would do that but you can try f/t before going that route if you wish.

Would it make it easier for him to switch to f/t later?
Maybe feed him live now then switch whenever he feels more comfortable?
