Hi and welcome
It could be a glancing defence bite from his mate or a misjudged back leg swipe.
How old are your boys and how are they currently interacting?

They are both 1 years old right now they are both eating and playing around and are normal
I thought it could have been mites or ringworms that he had but I also checked the other guniea pig and he’s fine has nothing on him .
I replaced their huts too because I noticed there was a tiny sharp piece on one so I’m assuming too it could be from that and he accidentally cut himself too but I’m not exactly 100% sure it could like you said be from his brother

If they are normal with each other, it is more likely accidental and not the result of any locking into a hut or bullying.
Keep an eye out if there is more development in the coming days - either scratches, bald patches developing around the scratch or boar confrontations/tensions.
