You should switch her to rats asap. the longer you wait the harder it can be to switch over. Sometimes if you wait to long they could get hooked on mice and then you are stuck feeding multiple mice through out it's life instead of one nice sized rat and the cost would be a lot more. Snakes that need to be fed rats when adult should really be fed them straight from hatching IMO.
Becuase I can't see the whole body it hard to tell, but it looks like it could be taking a bigger sized prey. Find prey that is about the same size as the biggest girth of the snake and that would be a good size.
When I switch over to rats. I always skip a feeding ( sometimes 2 feedings if it's a bigger snake) then just feed it like normal. they usually take it first time, but if them don't then I skip another week and try again. I also don't handle them until I get them on the rats to make sure they are less stressed.
