I would defintely seperate the two boars. My boars fought and one of them got a scratch just like yours! :soz: But, don't fully seperate them, maybe you should divide the cage (put some kind of divider like plexiglass or maybe a C&C grid). Or you can put another cage right beside the other one so they can smell each other but not get to each other!
There can be some reasons behind the fighting. How big is the cage? That can be the reason they are fighting, territorial reasons. There can be LOADS of reasons for them fighting but that is the only one I can think at the moment. That is the reason my boars were fighting, anyway. :luv:
 
Here sorry it’s so messy haven’t had the chance to clean it :doh:

I’m pretty sure I know the reason there around five months old so hormones
 
I would say separate them even if they are acting normal a bigger fight could happen when you aren’t around.

If they’re all the same age then they should all be hitting puberty and getting all hormonal.

I agree with winniethepooh ^^^ you should separate them but put up a divider so they have contact with one another. Best of luck!
