The dominance behavior between my new baby boy Pip and Mr P is making me more on edge every playtime,

Mr P has started trying to hump Pip back, so they're both wanting top spot by the looks of things.. and I have no idea if I can do anything to help this along to make sure it doesn't go the wrong way?
 
Someone has to be the dominant in the cage so there is nothing you can do. As Jer said you need to monitor closely and make sure it does not escalate and they are separated when/if it does
 
As long as there is no fur pulling or blood it should be fine. Try to watch them as much as possible when they're together for playtime. If you ever hear barking/kacking when they're humping make sure you break it up.
