I'm digging WAY back into the memory banks here, but there use to be a Bengal owner on general board years ago and I think there was a discussion about the need to be four generations out before the risk of having an unsocializable kitten was pretty much ruled out. There is a Bengal board at the bottom of the main page, try cross posting there. If nothing else, it will put you in the relam of Abymom and I've always been impressed with her resourcefulness.

As a side note, hunting instinct is not given to all cats equally. My sweetest, most polite cat was born on a horse farm, the daughter of one of the best mousers I've ever met. Itty Bit was a mouse slaughter house in fur. Lizzycat, her offspring, didn't play much as a kitten but did stalk. Now middle aged, fat and with one eye, she is still a killer, swift and sure if only of catnip mice. Your Bengal could have been given such a trait from either side in which case something as simple as keeping him busy with toys (fishing pole maybe?) and away from you face and hands until he finishes growing might be the best answer.

Purrs,
Elizabeth
