I just moved my baby boys in with their dad and brother, as now they are 4 weeks old.
The dad and the older brother are very interested in the two new additions,
but it seems that the younger boys don't agree.
It's only been around half an hour, but I'd like to know if things will be alright
or if I should seperate them again - what's best?
The older brother and dad keep going after them to smell them and sometimes
turning them over to smell. The dad even tried to mate with one of the younger ones -
I heard it's a dominance thing - will this pass when they get used to each other?
I wouldn't want to upset the younger ones too much.
But if they stay in the cage with mum and sisters I guess they will soon mate.

Any advice? :/

leave them where they are, with dad and brother. What you describe sounds like totally normal and harmless behaviour. It should stop after a while.

You were perfectly right! They are all fine now x)
