This is Cosmo's third introduction with Sebastian my first guinea pig. They are laying down close together and Cosmo has his eyes closed. What does this mean? Is it a good thing?

Anything other than aggression or fleeing is a "good thing". Continue to allow them to be together for longer and longer periods of time. Introduce toys or treats to make sure there will be no resource protection or food aggression.
