[Chip's Mom]

I am so glad to read this thread because I have the same concerns with the Chipmunks. There is also a little jealousy thrown in when I play with the two of them, Chip gets a little rough with Dale and Dale gets a little rough back with Chip. They are together most of the time and Chip watches over Dale, they eat together, sleep together, etc so I can't figure it out. Chip grabs Dale's neck sometimes and gets rough and that worries me. Maybelle used to do that to Chip all the time and pinched him to the point a bruise would appear. Now Dale has one. I get after him when he does that so it isn't as often now and we have finally taught Maybelle to quit it most of the time. I am looking forward to the responses. I must add that I am so glad I am not the only one with this concern.
