Just because a snake is a certain age or size does NOT mean it has to eat rats. You can continue feeding mice as long as you feed it enough. 2 XL mice is like one small rat. Personally I prefer rats but to each their own. I'd be more considered with feeding her the right amount vs feeding her another prey item.
If you can and want to make the switch, then by all means switch over to rats. They're easier and come way bigger.
