No Longer a Member | Acceptable play? I have a 9 week old female(Simone) and a 4 month old male (Hooks). They get along fine I think. They both run after each other and chase each other, which is not something that I concerns me. Simone growls and barks at Hooks after a certain point and he doesn't do this at all during their play even when he is tired. Is this normal play? Or is she trying to show that she is irritated and wants to stop? He could play with her all day long and never get tired so sometimes I just separate them to give her a break. Also he has only caused her to yelp 3 times when they are play biting and I always just separate them at that point. Is there anything that I should be saying? No biting seems like it is confusing him since I let him do it most of them time without correcting him. |

| My babies do this too. They are crazy little creatures. They run, growl, chase, yes and sometimes someone yelps. That's just how they play. COCO PEBBLES TRIXIE |

| It sounds like normal play to me. I have 3 babies and for the most part I let them work their issues out amongst themselves. If I hear a 'cry' I usually say 'Hey, play nicely!' and that's enough to calm things down.
