| Should they be biting each other? My 2 babies are biting each other, being quite rough......Are they just playing? Is this what they are meant to do?? Thanks! |

| Oh yeah- biting, sniffing, chewing, snapping, chasing, licking. It's all part of the game of growing up. Plus laying down by each other and sleeping nose to nose. I wouldn't worry unless one becomes excessively aggressive and starts hurting the other. |

| Oh Yes. My puppies play rough like that all of the time. Sounds like they are killing each other sometimes but they are just playing. One in a while they bite too hard and make each other squeek but they must enjoy playing rough because they do it all of the time. It used to bother me at first but now I know that is just how they play and let me do it as long as they dont start hurting each other. |

| Thanks for asking Bailey's Mummy -- cause I have worried a little about this same thing. I have a 2 and 4 month old and they chase and fight and tumble together. Most of the time I know they are playing but sometimes I am not sure. The little one seems to whoop up on the bigger one and I have to intervene. But then they will both curl up in the same bed and look like little angels as they sleep. They are so much like human kids!
