How/Where do you feed your hatchlings?

I have a very limited number of hatchlings that I keep in individual deli cups, using this method they are very easy to feed. I have seen that some breeders will keep several hatchlings ( a whole clutch) together in shoe boxes in a rack. My question is if you keep them together how do you feed?
 
You have to separate them to feed them. Then, once they've gotten their feed down, rinse them off to remove the mouse scent and place them back into their container.

I keep three containers for each clutch I produce: 1) Those that have never fed, 2) those that have fed, but have recently refused, and 3) those that have never refused a meal. By following that system, I know which hatchlings are ready to be sold after their appropriate number of f/t meals voluntarily taken.
