How big/old is your snake ? How big are the rabbits you feed ? How often do you feed her?
I'm not sure of course, but I wonder if she just isn't feeling quite as comfortable after the food change ? Is she now perhaps more "full"? Perhaps digestion is taking longer, bigger bones to break up, etc ?
How long after feeding did you handle her on the occasions that she seemed moody?
Is there anyway you can downgrade back to rats for a few feedings and see if she goes back to being "happier" ??
Since she is a female, I wonder if she is building follicles and just plain grumpy ?
Either way, we have instincts for a reason, to many people have just forgotten to pay attention to them or listen to them. If you feel something is "off", be on guard for now, esp. with other people, kids, pets being around the snake. You've had warnings and been fairly lucky so far (although the dog may disagree..). If she seems "tense" and stressed, lay off of the handling for a bit until you can figure things out..
Goes without saying, double check husbandry, temps, humidity etc etc ..
Good luck and let us know how things are going
