Either way Chinese hams are solitary & should be kept separately, once they fall out fights can become extremely aggressive resulting in severe injuries or worse so I would separate them immediately, in case Snowy is pregnant I would remove Sushi to the new cage so there is less stress & disruption for Snowy.
Give Snowy lots of substrate & shredded tissue so if she is pregnant then she can build a large nest out of sight, it is very important not to disturb them at all during & after pregnancy. until the babies begin to come out on their own, no peeking or cleaning, just give lots of food.

Edit I just saw your other post & if you’ve had them for 5 months then pregnancy is unlikely as Shannon said there, still important to separate them though.

Ahh!! Thank you so much!! I wasn't sure , they told us they were both males and then they started fighting and also it looks like Sushi is starting to develop a bulge so I wasn't sure it that was true or not....I uploaded more pictures just to double check
