Keep Together Or Seperate

[streak]

After his\her revaluation at the vet today I put Lucky in the Girls run.

First Thing that happened was Oreo ran over, a bit of sniffing then Oreo ran away. The Patches came over. I've never seen two guinea pigs launch at each other. No biting just jumped at each other and hit in the air. Brownie, top pig, ran over and got between them, both girls ran away. Since then Both Patches and Lucky have happily spent time together, washed in front of each other, shared a hidy holes. It's been 3 hours with no other issues, would they be OK together in the hutch tonight or should I separate them?

Everyone seems to be getting on OK, Brownie is making sure than there is no arguments unless she is the one doing the bossing around. Lucky seems to be fitting in OK, still a little distant when the group cuddles up, although she's sat on the outside within reach and I think it's her decision more than being excluded.

The relationship between her and patches is a bit unusual compare to the others. They will happily eat together (out of the same food bowl), share a hidey house, wash in front of each other, and do spend a lot of time together. Yet still have lots of shows of dominance and occasionally nip at each other (never when Brownie is near).
