I am not comfortable with 2 dogs in the same crate over night.  They love playing together, but need a break.  Also one of the advantages of crating a dog is reducing its activity allowing it go longer without relieving its self.  Leave 2 pups in a crate over night, and you could have a mess to clean up in the morning.

Answer
They are getting along and having a great time.  Young Labs, which I know best, and other puppies tend to very bad about
biting.  You see a litter of them, and all the ones that are awake are biting
another one or themselves.  I am not even sure they realize that when they are
alone, if they quit biting, they would quit being bitten.  At 3 to 4 months
they are getting their adult teeth, and it seems they spend every waking
moment biting or chewing.  One thing you can do at that stage is to knot and wet a piece of cloth.  Then freeze it.  The cooling will soothe the gums.  Only let the puppy have it when you are there to watch it.  I maintain a Lab's favorite chew toy is another
Lab.  Otherwise they settle for any person they can.  They keep hoping to find
one that won't yelp and jerk their hand away, or growl "Bad dog." and clamp
their mouth shut.  Then offer a chew toy.  They keep trying despite hundreds
of corrections.   Another good technique is to quit playing and go away.   Be
sure to praise them when they are playing nice and not biting.

You may want to settle them if it get out of hand.  Certainly if the smaller is getting the worst of it and retreats.
