I'm actually going though this with my Rosy, she has taken 2 f/t only after being given a live one. Two different feedings that is.

Depending on how often you're feeder her might make a difference also....since she as you say 12 or so inches, she's got enough weight on her to go a while without eating.

Have you tried giving her some time without food to see if that helps? Depending on how warm her environment is also affects her hunger response. There are many people around that pretty much cook their snakes to get them to eat...IMO, that's crazy! What I mean is they keep their snakes at temperatures that are so high that to be able to survive they have to eat....and probably would eat f/t even if they had only ever eaten live before. Again, that's just my opinion. Not judging how others do it, just stating what I've read and others talking about this. I'm sure the Zombies will come after me for the above statement,(inside joke) lol...

If she's taking live and she's doing well, I would try f/t right after a live one....see if she takes it....usually after eating something they still have a good feeding response to eat more.

As stated by Johnathon they are all different, you might have one that just wont convert...time will tell gl!
