Just about 30 minutes ago I tried the 1st introduction of a pair of young Males with my 2 year old Male (Brandy). 1 of them (JJ) seems to have accepted him no problem, whilst the other (Snowy) attacked him, started a ball fight and they had to be separated. My older Male suffered a small bite wound to his nose.
However, JJ is currently still in with Brandy at present (though both sleeping in separate corners). But I'm wondering what to do, should I put JJ back in with Snowy and then keep swapping for a bit longer, or leave JJ with Brandy and possibly keep swapping with Snowy on his own?

A quick update: Now JJ & Brandy are curled up together in bed. JJ was on top and grooming him before and now they're both fast asleep together. So I'm certainly torn about what to do.

I guess try keeping JJ and Brandy together in the split and put Snowy by himself on the otherside. That way JJ and Snowy won't forget each other, and hopefully Snow and Brandy will come around. Good luck!

Thanks for responding.
Yeah, I think I may try that as JJ & Brandy seem happy together so far.
I'll give it another week or 2 of regular swapping before I try Snowy with them again.

Thought I'd update this to say that it seems to have worked. 2 weeks on and they're now all together and currently sleeping together. Snowy did a bit of chasing & mounting (he mounted my hand too) and a lot of backside sniffing, but they've since settled down and seemingly agreed that Snowy is the boss.
I'll be continuing to keep an eye on them, as I think that Snowy is a little bit pushy & hyperactive for my older Male at times. Snowy will want to play/wrestle and Brandy just wants to walk off and sleep in peace.
