The advice above is all great for switching her. The big thing is be strong - missing a few meals won't hurt her if she refuses. Once you get her on live rats, if you want to go F/T, make sure you are holding the rat with tongs behind it's shoulder blades (the scruff, basically), then you don't have to mess with nasty rat tails.
