Advice?

So I have 2 adorable boars and have had them for a little over a month now. I got them from petsmart so I don't know their true age but I think they are only a few months old based on their weight and popcorning often. Yesterday they nipped at one another for a minute then stopped and continued about their day. They have gotten along so far and don't nip at each other often but this is the first time I've noticed it. I was just wondering if there was such thing as play fighting for guinea pigs? Because my piggies get a lot really well and I think they are just boys being boys but I was wondering if anyone else has had this? Also I have been keeping an eye on them, their cage IS big enough, and there has not been any marks or blood made from the nipping.

From 4-14 months old, they are in their teenage months. Hormones rise and dominance behaviours start to emerge more during this time. As long as you aren’t seeing full on fights or bullying, then all should be well.
