The young girls are still hanging out in the jungle hut during the night. There's still alot of barking, so maybe one or even both are in heat right now. Last night, I would hear the barking, and then crabbing from the sleeping pouch. They went back and forth like that for a good long while. Then they settled down. The girls are back in the regular sleeping pouch again this morning.

I'm also a little worried because we haven't seen the new joey in a few days. But then, I haven't peeked in the pouch lately either. I don't like doing that because I don't want to stress them out too much. Last time my son thinks he saw it, he said the mom had it in her mouth at the nectar dish. It was dark, and he didn't turn on the light. What has me worried is that all 6 were out to eat at the same time for the past two nights. Since the joey has been OOP, one always stayed in the pouch while the rest ate. I'm assuming it was baby-sitting. Hopefully, it's just that the joey is getting a little older so they will leave it alone for short periods. It's about 3 weeks OOP right now.
