If she is conditioned to a motion feeding response then you should have no problem getting her to take pre-killed from the appropriate length set of tongs.

I would suggest feeding her a live meal 1/2 the size of her normal, then while she is in "feed mode" offer a pre-killed item of the same size, you may have to do this a couple of times before she learns how to feed in this manner but she will eventually get the hang of it.

The only safe way to do this is with a set of tongs, hope this helps.
