Tucker just seems to hate his ex pen. He paces back and forth and if not dealt with pretty quick, he works himself into a frenzy. The ex pen is in the family room so it is not loneliness. The behavior is relatively new - the last few weeks.
The weird thing is he has no issues in his playpen (human baby type). I'd really like him to spend time in his big ex pen so he has more room to play. I have even tried leaving out some of the ex pen panels to duplicate the size of his play pen in case it was the smaller size he preferred, but no go. He has access to beds, food, toys, water, pee pad, etc. in both places. I just don't get it...
His potty training is not far enough along that he can have freedom in the family room as it is carpeted (I put a linoleum remnant under his ex pen).
How can I get him to enjoy his time in his ex pen? Any ideas?
