My question is... when they're playing, how do I know if they're getting too rough? I know not to leave them to play unsupervised, but when I'm watching them they go NUTS. They're biting or 'mouthing' each other, chasing, wrestling... and I don't want either of them to get hurt, but I don't want to keep stopping them if they're having fun. I haven't heard any yelping or anything yet...

I don't know - what's normal playful behavior? How do I get them to settle down when things are getting a little nuts?

I let all 6 of ours romp and let met tell U it's a mad house here when they are all together!! They run, holler, bite, attack, steal, poop, pee, pant, squeel...U name it! But when they let out that help I got hurt yelp U'll know it...It's a pericing yelp...Our daddy Teddy is a little on the hateful side @ times with the 4 babies...He snaps @ them quit often so he gets put in the kitchen the 1st time I hear one yelp. U'll know...But they are fun to watch and man they can get sneeky and hateful with each other.
Thanks So Very Much & Hugs, Lee & Babies
