They've all eaten very well (except one, but she had an RI when I got her). All started on live mice and switched to FT rats with no issues. All growing nicely.

For myself, I'd rather get them 1 tub and just remove items as they grow than buy multiple tubs to swap out as they grow.

There's no one way to do anything, I just figured I would post my experience and what I did.
I think this is a good idea too, they key is to just not have a huge open area where they feel vulnerable IMO.
