My 2 very bonded male guinea pigs have started fighting the most dominant one has made all scabs on the other one should i split them up?
It is ok to keep male guinea pigs together, but really only if they are from the same family. I.e. one of them is the father. They are like most they quarrel for dominance. The male guinea pig will always get the female and when the younger get older they will question the dominant male and try to oust him so they also get a chance to mate. But if fighting does become to often try move them to a bigger enclosure to give them some space.
What else can I help you with?

Yes. But It's best to know that they will most likely not get along at first. To fix that you will have to keep them in the same cage for about 2 weeks (It will give them time to show who is dominant). But otherwise, yes, guinea pigs do get lonely and should always have a friend. WARNING: NEVER GET YOUR GUINEA PIG A FRIEND AND THEN GIVE IT AWAY, THE GUINEA PIG WILL GET LONELY AND START BEING DEPRESSED AND MAY STOP EATING.

How do you tell that a guinea pig is fighting?
Same sex mounting, chasing and standing on their hind legs and 'boxing' is all fine and part of them extablishing who is dominant. If you witness persistent chasing where one gerbil does not stop to do anything else - such as burrow, eat, drink, chew or blood is drawn then you will have to separate. You must also intervene if you see your gerbils curl into a ball together and bite at each other - this can be fatal. If you have to separate your gerbils they can only be reintroduced via the splitcage method.
