Just try and introduce them gradually. Put them together for a little while every day(supervised half hour). They will soon get used to each other and get on. It is expected they will be bit rough so let it go but if its hardcore fighting then seperate and try again next day.

 

Hope this helps

although ferts should all live together, Ive had the same problem, I have 5 jills in a large court, introduced 3 castrated hobs, and all hell broke loose, they now are living as two seperate groups in the same court, one group inside, one group outside, if they cross paths, they fight, they will probably get split this week, and just used seperatly for ferreting

had a simular problem myself , tried putting three new kits in with my two older hobs, at first all was well but soon the fighting started !! the kits were having their ears ripped and allsorts. i seperated them but put them all back together when i cleaned each cage out and now their fine, good luck!
