Live vs F/T

I rescued a baby reg. or okeetee corn off of craigslist. At first I would say purchased, but after seeing the snake in a bad shed and the tank with what looked like cedar chips and full of poo, I decided rescued was a better term.
I tried to feed it live,

to be edited later, work calls.
 
sorry, I'm back.
"obi-wan" had been eating f/t pinkies, but I feed my other baby corn live since that is what the pet store carries. Well, obi-wan wouldn't touch a baby pink, even with making it squeak and leaving them together overnight. He even "rattled" at me while dangling the pinkie. I tried this for 2 straight weeks without success.
So I went to petsmart and bought a pack of frozen pinks. Thawed one out, cut slits just for fun and then offered it to him. While I was still holding him, he struck the pinkie instantly and started to swallow. Ate like a champ. Today I offered a second since the lump was gone quickly and it had been 3 days and at first he didn't seem interested, so I placed him with a pinkie on top of his screen lid and he ate right away.
Have any of y'all had a snake that refused live but took f/t???
Guess I'll try to convert my other one over since I would like to only do one or the other. We'll see how that goes next week.
