Once she's at the point where a chick is a small meal for her, you can try "chaining" a warmed f/t rat pinky or fuzzy behind it so she learns to associate rats with food. Eventually she will start taking f/t rats without needing a chick as an appetizer.
I'm not worried about overfeeding her, there is just a limited amount of live chicks near me. And they want $6 a damn chick
