How do I know if male bonding is successful

We rescued a male Abyssinian (1.5yr old) from the animal shelter and a few days ago went to a guinea pig rescue and adopted another 4 month old Abyssinian male. We took them home and made a separate temporary 6x3 c&c enclosure to try and get a solid bond with them. When will we know they are bonded? They’ve had probably 3 small squabbles - no blood has been shed though. This will be our second day of having them in the enclosure during the day (we put a divider on at night) and just want to know when we would be good to leave them together full time/ move them into the actual guinea set up we have that’s a tiny bit smaller (think it’s 14 sq ft) any help or advice is appreciated as we are new to guinea pigs and boar bonding.

We adopted a guinea pig from the animal shelter last Saturday and after researching we went ahead and build a custom c&c enclosure to fit in our space exactly so normal liners don’t fleece liners won’t fit fully, we ended up getting a fleece blanket off amazon to fit in, but are seeing it isn’t the right material as moisture isn’t seeping to the absorbent layer. I now know we need anti pill fleece but am unsure of where to get it at, we tried Michael’s/hobby lobby with no luck. Where are you getting your fleece?

Added a picture of the current set up ( we will be adding some more decor later when it comes)
