Additionally, could somebody please explain to me in detail the best way to go about feeding him?

I know to use pinkies while he is small, but I'm referring more to the actual feeding process. I'm slightly confused on the concept of moving him to a seperate container for feeding. I was thinking of using a shoebox, cutting a hole big enough to fit a pinky being held by long tweezers, and feeding him that way. Does anyone else have any suggestions on what a suitable common feeding tank could be? Does it need anything in it?

Also, how long after he takes the food should I wait to move him back to his regular tank? I know you aren't supposed to handle them after they eat, so how should I go about moving him back?

If someone could give me a step by step explanation of the whole process, that would be great. Thanks!
