I found if I put my hand in a claw shape over them they don't move and you can scoop them up.
\Maybe that's because they're used to me and aren't bothered by me in the slightest unless I make a big sudden move even then though just do little jump outta my way. Jabba is really tame I can just prop her front end up with a finger and she then walks onto my hand and will sit there perfectly fine.
