When you say that you didn't expect the problems to happen "so fast" ... Exactly how long did you expect it to take?

Yes, it's your fault. So fix it. Separate them. You should have had a plan for when this didn't work out - as you seem to have known it wasn't.

Boys can live together in the same room with females. I have three pairs of males that live in the same room (not cage) with six girls. When the girls are in heat the boars squabble a bit more than usual, there's more mounting and strutting than normal, but it is nothing like the bloody situation that would be created by putting the boys directly into the same cage with female(s).
