Congratulations on your new babies. Since they are from the same breeder and have been separated for several weeks, I would do the "safe room" and keep them separated for a couple of weeks and do the scent swapping with towels or blankets. Whatever the kitties lay on, swap them out with the other so the scent becomes familiar. We have had instances where two kittens have been introduced immediately and got along great from the get-go. But, I would try the safe room for the new kitten (litter box, food, water, toys, bed) and see how it goes from there. There will not be a huge age difference in them and I think you can bring the new kitten out to play. If they show any aggression toward each other, separate them. Hissing and growling are normal. Attacking is not. Do not leave them together unsupervised until they are buddies. This should really not take very long, They are young kittens and should not be territorial. Hope things go well for you and the babies. Keep us posted.
