Hi! Please do NOT separate guinea pigs during bonding, and especially after acceptance has happened as in your case. Young piggies are desperate for company and every new spearation is devastating for them. You were perhaps half an hour short of leaving them together forever.
Guinea pigs don't do playtime; for them, every meeting is bonding time and it is very frustrating when they are not allowed to get on with it.

Take the time to read through our very detailed bonding guide to understand the different phases, dynamics and appropriate behaviours.
