These are my babies, both neutered kept in pens about 30cm apart. Shadow (left) was done 4 weeks ago, and Coco (right) several months.
When Coco is out of his pen roaming, they will happily sit nose to nose through the cage for ages, not moving at all. I assume they’re both waiting for the other one to start grooming first.
When Shadow is roaming they can get a bit nippy if he gets too close, loose fur coming out (but there has never been any blood drawn). I assume Shadow is still giving off territorial vibes, and he has peed on the carpet around there a few times, though not recently.
Obviously we distract Shadow when he’s out to keep him from bothering his brother, but is there anything obvious we can do to help them make friends again?
