Axolotl baby

I havea very young axie who like to run around alot. Her tank (although she/he is tiny) doesnt seem big enough as she tend to just run into the tank. So what do you think's the best way to trancfer her into her new bigger tank?
 
How big is her tank? Younger axies can be more active; but then it could also be due to water parameters and/or temperatures too. People use different methods to move an axie. We use net and container (plastic jug) or 2 plastic containers - one in front of her and coax them in with the other one - so they don't get stressed. When we use the net as we lift the axie from the tank we also put our hand beneath the net/axie to help lift it - and stop any unnecessary swinging. (Chasing them with a container or net round the tank can scare/stress them! :D)
 
Well she's only in a 1.5 ft tank. She's only very tiny but very active too. My big (ill) axolotl has become lazy since shes got older.
 
i find axies go through 'exercise' stages. when they hit around 5cm up to 15cm they seem to swim alot and then settle down.
