Default Just experienced my first 'Play Fight'

I was looking in Mango and Chutneys cage a minute ago and they were 'play fighting' or at least I think they were.
The only reason I dont think it was real fighting was because neither one was squeaking! It was really interesting actually.
I just hope that is just a play fight!
(Just to check would a Furry Life Happy World be adequate for a Campbell?)

From what I've heard, I imagine it would be great - I think the only things people have comment about are the bridges, which are barred (you'll likely need to thread some cardboard between the rungs to make them solid, and safe for hamster legs) and the low-hanging water bottle.

Am tempted by one myself!

Odd, this play fighting - my WWs used to chase one another, and clamber over one another. Fighting I've always associated with squeaking, and the submission gesture (lying on back and belly licking)!

Play fighting makes me chuckle to myself. My Campbells Zippy and George used to do it a lot - they'd both sit on their haunches and wave very limpwristed little paws at each other....it was very girly in style!! Zippy has since passed away and my other Campbell's don't seem to play fight much at all. My WW boys play fight constantly but as Gus says, its more normal for WWs to squeak when they're play fighting and one of them to roll into the submissive position.
