Just my opinion, but I don't think it's necessary to move them to a seperate enclosure just for feeding. I don't, and I have no problems. As a matter of fact, I've never heard a good reason to do this. Just imagine the big breeders out there trying to move hundreds of animals back and forth between racks and breeding containers...

If you feed them in their normal enclosure, they will feel more secure in familiar surroundings. You won't have to move them when they are done. They won't think your hand is food when you are removing them at other times, unless it smells like food. There will be less containers to clean. Less chance of any kind of cross-contamination. More efficient. JMHO...
