Question Bite or Cut?

I have 3 boars in a 7x2 cage with a 2x1 top. I've noticed that the smaller one (Patches) had these bites or cuts on his back behind his neck. They had 2 scabs on them (which had come off when I was brushing him) which is why they look red. I'm trying to decide if they are just bites he keeps getting or what? I don't think it's an emergency (hence it's posted here) but if anyone has seen these before, please let me know.

The 2 younger ones used to fight a decent amount til I bumped up the cage size and now everyone has their own spot to go to.

Thanks,
Sharon

Re: Bite or Cut?

Honestly, it looks like a bite to me... just because of the placement of the two wounds. It looks like teeth marks.

Re: Bite or Cut?

I'm no expert, maybe it is just a scab, but I think it almost looks more like a fungus?
