Any rats small enough for her to eat are still nursing- not easy to maintain.
BPs are frustrating to change over (whether to f/t from live, or changing the type of rodent)- some will change easily, others only after many times & some never will, so your situation is unfortunate, especially considering your difficulty to obtain rodents.

A hopper mouse should be fine!  (their eyes are open, so they can bite back, but usually they're not a big risk to your snake just yet- not the way adult mice are)
The fact that she killed it & is trying to eat it is very encouraging. 
So did she ever finish her shed?

Re: No movement
She ate it all the way! I think it was a good size because it just barely left a little lump that I can see but Sas looks so much happier!
She is almost completely done with her shed. She just was looking everywhere and had that 'hungry look to her.. I had a good feeling and thankfully I was right.. SO RELIEVED!

Re: No movement
I just really really wanted to get that meal in her. Shedding is fixable, but I wouldn't want her to lose any more weight while I was waiting

Re: No movement
I was going to keep her on live for a little while.. just untill I'm comfortable enough with her weight and size to try switching over. Is that alright?

I hear you & I'd have probably done the same thing. Good call. I'm so glad she's willing to eat something, even if it's mice & even if it's live for now. Wish you lived nearby...I have too many!
