Default Dormice relocation help

My African Pygmy dormice have a new bigger home now and im in the process of moving them into it howver catching them is proving a problem as the tank they are in at the meoment is an old fishtank with a built in filter...which is where they have chosen to nest making catching them difficult I was wondering if anyone had any tips for catching and relocating them? one is fairly calm the others are a little bit jumpy I also noticed a baby dormouse last night so will have to move a few very jumpy very fast little ones too.
