no reason to apologize.. okay at 3 months oop they tend to sleep alot, also some things you may want to try, you didn't mention what time you were watching them, as they are nocturnal and being up in the wee hours is usually customary, like between 1 and 4 in the am. if things are quiet, as they are still not only young but new as well. you may want to use a small desklamp with a small wattage bulb, across the room, and turn it on only, that way you can see them, they will become accomstomed to the schedual, the important thing at this time is consistancy, and utilizing this time to learn what sounds, they are bothered by.. for example the tv, the computer, loud music, etc. They need to FEEL totally safe . you are doing fine, you have already read my bonding page, so hopefully you are also spending the time offering them licky treats periodically in their pouch. Chances are they are not urinating in the pouch, but maybe marking it, Mine saturated theirs, each time i washed it, gosh it smelled awful, but the repeativness cause him to mark it even heavier, so after about the 6th time, i told him he would stay in it, and smell it himself.. a couple of days later the smell was gone, and he was done marking as well.
