What is up with my rats?

I got a new baby male rat and my older male rat is trying to breed him. Will he stop or should i buy a seperate cage? This new rat was around other rats that were female and male and is it just the smell of the other rats on him and will it eventually wear off or if this a problem with my older rat and should i buy the cage?

Male rats will most likely mate eachother to show dominance especially if you have females and this can cause a deathly fight, I would neuter the males or seperate them as I'm in the same situation and I found my boys bleeding extremely bad in the morning so they had to be seperated!
