I'd separate them and watch the bites carefully for signs of infection. If you feel at all worried see the vets. A large storage bin each kitted out would make a lovely home for each one at little cost. Don't clean them out so much as it makes them lose their scent and they don't like that.

Wow, I wish Petsmart would have given such details. So two homes would be better, I woulda never guessed they fight like that. Them being all snuggled together when they sleep. So how often should we clean cage in order to keep with their natural scent?
