Yes, the small amount of handling required to move them to and from a container is perfectly fine. As for feeding, going by weight is the easiest and most accurate way to determine the correct feeder size. If you look up the "Munson plan", it's a pretty good guide on what size to feed at which weight. It's a bit on the aggressive side, so feel free to scale back the frequency it recommends and/or wait until your snake weighs a bit more than what is suggested for each size before moving them up. A digital kitchen gram scale is perfect for weighing them. If you don't have one or don't want to get one, you can eyeball the correct size. Properly sized prey will be between 1 to 1.5 times as wide as the widest part of the snake.
