Hello

I have had my two boys Splodge and Noodle living happily together now for over two years, however recently I have noticed Splodge has a couple of scabs in the small of his back!

Been watching them and looks like Noodle has been using his teeth when chasing and mounting :( they arent cuts as such, just scratches but its obviously not the best!

Is this normal dominance behaviour or something a bit more dodgy? I really don't want to have to seperate them as they get on really well 99% of the time, Noodle is about a year younger than Splodge and they live in a two tier 4x2 C&C with plenty of hideys
 
Our neutered boar Astro does this to Star, we call them love bites, but it isnt when he mounts as Star is a tease and normally slams the door in his face, she is 2 years older than him after all.
