scared of my snapdragons!

They've germinated, but they are so, so, SO tiny and delicate.
I have done the "greenhouse" thing : 1 flatbed, other in separate cells. So my question(S) :

How strong do they need to be to be handled? I hear 4-6 leaves,--will they get less fragile looking?

Can I just thin out the clumps in the flatbed till there are single plants 2 in apart & leave 'em til they are strong enough to be planted outdoors?

Do you have to water them? I have only sprayed the clear dome once when it looked dry.( there are moisture beads )

Do I HAVE to transfer the seedlings in the cells to bigger pots before I plant them? I am afraid I will mangle them all.

I know this is a lot of nervous ?s but
It's been my dream to grow snapdragons for many years, and i've never had a place with enough sun. I'm so hoping this is the year I get to move up from Zinnias to more challenging blooms!
Fingers crossed and thanks so much in advance.
