Hi there
I have litter buddies so didn't have to go through this but am I right in thinking you have two Bengal kittens now? How old is each?
There is clearly a difference in size whatever, but can I ask if any noises were made, such as hissing, growling, any noises indicating the younger kitten was scared at all and how did the kitten react following this incident?
Bengal play fighting is damned rough which is why I'm asking. Does the kitten have any injuries? I was always stopping my two when we first had them and play fighting is pretty much as you described. If there is no hissing, spitting, growling or noises of fear from the younger kitten, it may well be play. However, with the difference in size right now you can't really let it happen until the younger kitten is in a better position to defend itself.
One week is also no time at all really. I would keep the little one safe in its carrier for a bit longer and go at the pace of the younger kitten. If she wasn't upset by it all or injured, you probably don't need to go back to square one.
