    Just wait and see how it turns out when they're older. Some males can live peacefully together in the presences of females, and sometimes they'll fight to the death. It just depends on the males.

    Once I had a tub of males all related to each other. I accidentally put a female in because I thought it was an extra male.
    And a few days later I saw it....All of the males were taking turns breeding with the female with no squabble or fighting. It was the craziest thing I've seen in a while because all my previous experience with males have been them fighting for dominance.
    It reminded me of male lion coalitions where they form a male group and take over a pride and both(or more) males end up co-leading/breeding with the females.

    You can leave females together when they have babies. They help each other nurse and care for the pups.
