Boars fighting

[PeanutKevinNibbles]

So everyday my boars have a fight.
They scuffle in like a giant guinea pig ball, sometimes Peanut (the aggressor) has some of Kevin's fur in his mouth too!
He has either cut or scratched Kevin a couple of times.
Do I permanently separate them?
This has been going on a couple of weeks, it started that it happened every couple of days but not it seems guaranteed every day.

And its always Peanut chasing Kevin until he gets him and then they scuffle.

Advice please.

Sounds like their relationship is over to me. It has moved beyond simply rumbling and teeth chattering to actual aggression with injury. If they stay together the risk of serious injury goes up I am a keeper of boars and would separate in an instant if there was actual aggression with fighting and biting. The fur in the mouth does seem pretty serious to me. I’ve read all the forum guides here on bonds and boars. All very useful and trained me to what to look out for.

I think it’s worse for the underpiggy too to continually be attacked.

I‘m not an expert and I‘m sure some more experienced people will come along soon. I am very sorry that you find yourself in this tricky situation! I would suggest that you separate your piggies before a serious injury happens. It sounds very much like your boys have made their minds up about each other and the bond has failed.

Thank you. I tried to keep them together because I didn't want to have to do this.

But it's got to the point where I don't want a big vet bill and an injured piggy because I should have separated them.

Thank you! Will separate them straight away then as the fight was recent today. They sometimes chill out near each other and then boom something changes.

I’m sorry to hear this.
it sounds as if your piggies are not compatible and their bond will not work out.
they will need to be separated but kept in cages side by side so they can interact through the bars so they don’t get lonely.
