Totally dumb feeding questions!

Ok, please forgive me!

So my new Cayenne line of Fire Corns are amazing, but one thing is driving me nuts! It's pretty much impossible for me to get them into their smaller feeding containers! As soon as I try to put them in one they spaz out, stretching out as long as I can, flailing, trying to get away from me. I managed to feed the male today from my fingers while he was wrapped around my other hand, but he would only take the one. It took me about 15 mins to finally get my female into her container, and luckily she ate. Got any tricks for getting them in smaller containers?

I dont want to put them in anything much bigger becuase when I do that, they tend to just wanter around and ignore their food. Arg! :headbang:
 
Something that worked for me was using a tall opaque container. I put my snake in tail first in a large (16 oz., I think.) cottage cheese container (it had been cleaned, of course! LOL) so he couldn't spaz out as much, and placed the pinkie(s) in with him. It worked! :)
 
Taller container and get them started in your hand then uncoil them into the bin while they are busy. Or just let them eat in your hand- it goes so fast for babies!!
