I wouldn't worry about it! I once had a woman ask me why her Burmese wasn't feeding, so I went through all the usual questions and nothing was wrong, so I asked her was she was feeding it.....she said peanuts! XD no lies and then, when I said they eat mice she got so angry?!?!
I would try not to feed it any wild animals, you don't know if they may have internal parasites or creatures they've eaten may have eaten something undesirable (feces, pesticides etc...), you should be able to get pre killed frozen rabbits at your local pet shop, also how often do you feed her out of curiosity and do you feed her live?
I feed her whenever she acts hungry (she tends to stop moving and stare at me when she's hungry) and I kill her prey for her, usually. I try to make sure they're dead, but sometimes an accidentally live one gets to her. She's still an efficient killer though.
It's always good to try and make sure the prey is dead, although it may seem unlikely sometimes the snake can just decide not to feed right away (can happen out the blue) and the prey can attack the snake, you'd be surprised how much damage the prey can do, at the end of the day you would receive more damage from a rabbit bite than a Burmese bite, but the snake overpowers it with brute strength,
but even after constriction, unless instant death is achieved through broken spine or neural damage there is a possibility the rabbit can still attack areas such as the eyes, here's an example of prey fighting back
