Help! Questions for Attack of the Mousers

Before I give off the wrong impression of me being a downer and a critic, I just wanna say I enjoy TMNT as much as the rest of you. The new toon is fantastic with a fine mix of action / humor + PLOT, and the old one brings me fond childhood memories. So no, I'm not trying to be picky and say the new cartoon is horrible, but there are some questions from today's episode that bug me. If anyone bother to take a shot and answer them, I would certainly appreciate TMNT much more:

1. In the flashback of the origin story, what exactly did pre-mutated Splinter feed the turtles?

2. When Splinter is half human-size or something, it is implied that he still goes above ground cause he said something like "They follow me everywhere except going above", where does he get his food and is it really possible nobody ever see a 3 feet rat?

3. The pizza scenerio: Where exacly did Splinter find a perfectly hot pizza? (Or are we trending on the whole Turtles gather money from the sewer ground again? Cause if we are, it seems that the Turtles are still having trouble walking...And Splinter buying a pizza above...that seems unlikely cause nobody will mistake a hairy werewolf-like dude for a human when he walks into a local Pizza-Hut)

4. The mutagen canister, shouldn't the can been rolled off or washed off in the drain by the time the Turtles are big enough to walk on their feet? It doesn't look like Splinter carries the can with him when he first meets the Turtles, and it IS a sewage that eventually leads to the ocean...so where did that broken can we see from ep. 2 come from?

5. I'm still niffy about the martial art / weapon thing. If the pre-mutated Splinter didn't have them, and where did the Turtles get their weapons anyway?

Thanks a lot guys, I know I should probably ease off since it IS only a cartoon. But hey, I will be a very happy man if anyone can come up with a suggestion.
