Answer
Hi Kathleen

You need to separate the new baby boys from the mother and sister at 3 weeks of age.

It would be a bad idea to put them with the adult males as this will probably cause more fighting between Jake and Oscar.

If you keep the two baby boys together but just the two of them they should grow up together fine.
