Will live feeding switch my BP over from F/T?

[CALM Pythons]

Sorry for the lack of info! My girl is 4 years old and weighs around 1500 grams. She took a small plus rat and a weaned rat four weeks ago. The next week, she took a weaned rat. All were f/t, but it took some coaxing for about ten minutes till she took the prey. She has always been a picky eater until August of 2016 to August of 2017. Throughout that year she was taking the f/t prey within a few seconds. Every time I de-thaw a rat, she is out and amped up. She follows it tenaciously and is in the striking position while the prey is presented to her. She just won't strike it. I have also left a f/t rat in her enclosure with her for two hours with the front of her enclosure blocked so she had complete privacy.....still a no go. I am on a facebook page and the members say that I need my husbandry spot on for her to get that feeding response again. Again, I don't think my temps are too out of whack and the humidity is always around 55%. I don't want her to get stuck on live prey, but I feel like I am in a bind now.

She is a adult now.. She will eat less. If I were you Id switch to every 2 weeks or even every 3 weeks otherwise she will eat consistently for a while and then go off feed for a couple months because they don't need to eat that much at that age all year. If you want her to stick to a schedule more then offer less. Also she just ate 2 weeks ago, so again that is nothing to worry about. She could eat a good size meal once a month at this point and be perfectly healthy.. Id go every 15 days to start.
