Well first pinkies are too small for a BP especially one that is 2 months old.
As for live feeder, look on CL and stores that specialized in herps.

I can't tell you what to feed not knowing her size. ideally you want to feed a prey that is equal the animal's girth's size (widest part of the BP's body.
As far as what's better it comes down to what works, gram per gram it's all the same, the only difference is that in the future if yu feed mice you will have to feed multiple prey, whereas with rats you won't have to.

Would it be a problem if i try to give her frozen pray instead of live pray?
Like health changes or digestion problems or regurgitation (dont know how to spell that 😅)

Not at all just make sure its completly dethawed. Warm up the head area with hot water from the sink for about a minute. And see if it takes it. Some snakes you might have to wiggle it .some of might just leave it in there cage and they will go after it themselves. Google pet store near you and see what pops up
