Usually snakes need a few days of settling in with no handling before even offering their first meal, and they'll have their best chances of eating f/t... Since you say she was eating f/t with her last owner. It's not surprising she rejected the f/t only 24 hours after arriving to you haha. If you wait a full week with no handling and offer f/t again, she might take it. But may not, since you already gave her live. I also am told that hatchlings can be shy, so providing more tight secure hides may help too!
Bloods/short tails also should have a noticeable ridge in their back, more than balls and boas. Though they shouldn't be a flat tent, of course. If you can't feel an obvious ridge on the back and they are rounded, they are actually overweight.
Congrats on your girl!
