Answer
If you haven't seen any battle wounds on either of them, they may just be goofing off. Since rats are nocturnal, night time is always going to be play time. Try giving them fresh foods and treats at night just before bed to keep them somewhat busy for awhile while you fall asleep.. maybe that will let you get some sleep. Good luck.
