You could start with prekilled first and work from there. Maybe giving her a few live meals will kick start her feeding response again. For picky eaters I usually start out live hoppers, then adult mice, then once they put on a little weight I get rat pups and scent them with a f/t mouse, thaw them out together and heat hem up together. So far I've had a good success rate besides one of mine that's still refusing f/t.
What would do you for a "traumatized" live feeder?

We tried to switch him over with to F/T no success at all and went back to live.
Unfortunately, his last little meal was a scrappy teen mouse who fought back and now the snake acts "phobic" about them.

He won't eat F/T instead and "stunned" and "pre-killed" are totally ignored as "not food" so I have no idea what to try next.

I was thinking of getting him some pitiful little hoppers who can't "fight back", hoping he'll regain his former merciless killer confidence.

Beyond that, I'm lost for better ideas.
