good, Now, since you know it is eating try to switch it to thawed food, im sure others will chime in on how.
 
When i had snakes, I always fed them live until the food grew teeth and could bite back. Pinky rats don't have teeth so its not awfull feeding them that at that size.

it is awfull because she didn't know how to kill, was wrapped around the pinky, alive and kicking for half an hour and swallowed it still alive.

It was not a sight to see.
 
it was hard to get my corns to eat when i first got them but then i started feeding them thawed food and a whole new world opened up for their food capabilities.
 
You should put a frozen in their behind the live one then you should not have any issues from there.

Its not like people do any better to the animals we eat...ever seen videos or pictures of the kill floor of a slaughterhouse?

Nature isn't always pretty, snakes are specialized predators that know when they need to expend energy to safely consume prey, and they also know when the prey is harmless enough to eat without killing it beforehand.

Congrats on getting your ball to eat though. You shouldn't feel guilty for feeding live...
