I have Ball Pythons and Blood Pythons both, who used to eat F/T just fine then suddenly started refusing no matter what. I simply gave in and and started feeding them live and they haven't refused a meal since... If you only have one snake, you would really only need one male and two female breeder rats and a couple simple cages to breed your own, so you could have live rats on hand. That would be a piece of cake...
Yeah, being that rats grow so quickly that is definitely a problem. That's why I suggested 2 females, so you could try to offset litters... Maybe try breeding mice or ASF instead until she gets bigger since they're smaller?
