First off, I'm guessing you're KSB is 2 years old. At one year, 24" would be a freak giant. But, on to switching to f/t. Usually easiest to switch first to pre-killed. I've never had an issue with KSB's switching over; it's always been a matter of time before they accept it on their own. Waiting for about a month before feeding, then giving a live mouse, followed by a pre-killed mouse will often work. If not, you can try shaking a the mouse in front of the snake. Typically, if the snake is hungry, it will take the food. After awhile of this, the KSB will take the pre-killed food readily, and it should easily be switched over to f/t simply by giving it f/t.
