Welcome to our forum and congratulations on your kitty. Oh boy ... kittens do play and bengal kittens do play A LOT! Yours is used to sparring with his siblings and since you have other pets, they are now the sparring partners. I'm sure this is not fighting or aggressiveness, although kittens do play rough. You will never get a 15-week old kitten to learn the word NO. Make sure you have lots of catification going on in your home -- tall cat trees, lots of toys. You should be playing a lot with him and not relying on your other pets to fulfill the need to play. Multi-pet households are the most difficult to regulate. You brought in a new baby to a home with existing pets who have set their territory. Your new bengal is going to try to infringe on that territory to make it his own. You might compare this with siblings who get along fine one minute and are fighting the next. Bengals are like children -- more so than other cats, so be prepared.
You've got spend time dealing with this and have patience. Your bengal is acting completely normal and you will never change that behavior. As he grows older, which will take some time, he may find your other pets not very attractive to play with. In the mean time, you be the playmate and wear him out so he wants to sleep and not play with your other pets. And, if your male is not neutered yet, make sure that is done before sexual maturity -- whatever your vet recommends. He could be neutered now, but many vets do not want to do early neutering. 4 to 6 months would be optimal, I think.
Just enjoy the adventures this boy will bring to the table for the next 12 to 15 years.
