We find it handy to use a small fizzy pop bottle with the bottom cut off to transfer smaller Ts (particularly arboreal ones) if you use a soft brush to get them to go in, then place a small piece of cardboard underneath to stop it running out the bottom... Transfer it over and often you can just gently undo the bottle top and tilt that end down.. With a little encouragement they often will come out with no trouble.. Of course catch cups at the ready just in case but we have found using the plastic bottle like that is quite handy hope that helps
