Last night I heard a lot of noise and went in to find Kristoff and Olaf in a full on fight! I clapped really loud and they got scared and ran to separate corners. They were both chattering their teeth and really worked up! Once they calmed down I checked them over separately and Olaf had a small bite on his ear and Kristoff had a little nick under his nose. Just a little bit of blood on each wound, nothing too serious thank God. I went ahead and separated them for the night. Can they be put back together ever, or is this it for them? They were neutered 2 weeks ago so I can put them with my 3 girls, so at least there are options so they won’t have to be alone if they have fallen out. I have read that the spring time brings on more hormones, they are 3 months old as well is this when “the teenage stage” happens that everyone talks about?
 
Oh no how awful! Glad you got there before any serious wounds. I'm not experienced with boar pairs so don't feel I can offer advice though I just hear the "not when blood is drawn" advice. If it's hormones though they might be able to be reintroduced once it's calmed down a lot but that might be some time off yet

I’m definitely glad I got them neutered now so they can pick a wife from my 3 when the time comes!
 
Oops - and it was going so well.
It may just be rampant teenage hormones and will work itself out.
It is good you had them neutered so there’s a back up plan
 
Oh dear! That's such a shame. I expect its rampant hormones kicking off.

Should I keep them separated and try to reintroduce them? If so how long should I wait?
 
I put the boys together for some grass time outside today and they basically ignored each other and went about munching. I’m scared to put them back together in their cage though. From those guides, I guess they still have a chance because both wounds were just tiny scratches or nips, nothing serious. Maybe I will continue some outside time together every day and see how it goes.
