I'm not sure but it could be because they can smell the other boar.
Is the other boar on his own? he really should have another with him but dont put him with your current 2 because they will just fight

How old are your boys? Sounds like your boys could have hit the big hormones between 4-14 months old and your new boy has set them off. I would strongly advise you not add a third boy into the volatile mix. I have yet fingers free on my first hand when it comes to baby boar trios making it to a more settled adulthood without at least one separation.

Here is our boar guide from the behaviour section, which contains further informative and helpful links.

Are they able to see Oreo? It may help if they know where the smell is coming from, although someone feel free to tell me if I'm talking rubbish :p

Are you definitely sure that the new boar is a boar? As if your two smell a female they will likely start to bicker. If it definitely is then it is probably just your boys reaching maturity as Wiebke mentioned.

Sorry, just seen your latest post. If he's rescue than I'm fairly certain he wouldn't be mis-sexed

What's bicker

Bickering is another word for arguing, squabbling and fighting eventually.

As others have said, putting three boys together is not a good idea. Get him a friend in a separate cage.
