Penelope will try to get in the pouch and Ava will crab at her and kind of snip at her. But once Penelope makes it in the pouch eventually they are completely fine and they cuddle. I don't get it. I have multiple sleeping spots for them to sleep but they refuse to use them. Is this normal or is there a way to stop it from happening? Mariah & Kyle Penelope & Ava

It seems to me that the bottom of the pouch is prime real estate.

When Dot crabs, Fiona makes little squeaks and then they make the usual settling in noises " sst, pht, sss-sss " noises, then all is good. Dawn Be patient, and Trust your journey....
