My 3 year old brothers had a fight last night. I heard scuffling, looked over and they were in a ball fight. Me and my BF immediately separated them, one is still in the tank, the other is in a carry cage. They were both covered in blood on their sides/front half and legs. They've cleaned themselves up over night and are not in pain but dont seem to be doing much. They've been eating their favourite treats from my hand and take water when I put it directly in front of their mouths but all they seem to do is sleep and build their nests. They have food and water right next to their nests Is this normal? Pic is from last night

They will be in pain - they just deal with it in a different way to us.
It is quite normal that they will be less active than usual as they are in pain/discomfort on moving and also are probably still a bit stressed out by the whole experience and so will take a while to get back to normal. But they will.
So just keep an eye on them but disturb then as little as possible over the next few days so they can use all their energy to recover instead of using energy to hide, chew and run around.
It just takes time to get back to normal, so don't rush them. You are doing fine just feeding them their favourite things and making sure they are drinking enough.
