I think all of the suggestions below are good ones.

Keep in mind that rosies are not like your kingsnakes,milksnakes, etc when it comes to feeding preferences. Many rosies never get very fond of thawed rodents. Some will eat them all of the time, some just some of the time and some rosies will be very stubborn with thawed food.

I have found thawed rat pinks work for some stubborn rosies, but no guarantee.

I used to have a diverse rosy collection. As time went on I had to use thawed rodents exclusively due to my wife hating the live rodent cages in our garage. So many of my rosies gave me trouble with thawed food that I had to give most away. Rats seemed to work alot better for me than mice, but the preferences of my rosies were clear: by and large most wanted live or fresh-killed over thawed. Didn't matter if the mice were frozen just for a few days or for a few weeks, so it wasn't a freshness issue. Go figure.
