Sorry for posting a lot of threads but worried about my little ones...
Ive explained about bullying with my 2 chins, and i have split the cage in to two the best i can, there is one chin above the other.
They have been fine the small one is used to the top so i put him at the top section and the same with the lower he is used to that, but after putting them away after play time and coming back up to them just before bed, it looks like bobo has been going nuts at trying to get out of the cage, and brought blood to the surface of his mouth just below his nose.
I swapped them around and he seems to be a little more calm. just worried about his mouth, its not bleeding. dont think the little one doesn't like being at the bottom either.

Im getting a new cage for them both but i cant manage to do this for over 2 weeks as the room has to be completely rearranged and all new shelving systems put in. i can only do this on weekends due to me working all week.

Will they be ok till them, i dont want him to hurt his self any more or stress them out....
 
We cannot tell you they will be all right--you'll have to monitor them closely to make sure they don't hurt themselves. Most likely it is a change in the environment and within a few days they both should calm down. You'll need to make sure they are still eating, drinking, and pooping normally--stress can affect all animals and therefore they should be kept a close eye on
 
Wish I could be there all the time for them but with work, I came down this morn, and his mouth seams to be a liitle better, less red.
 
Have you looked and made sure all the incisors are there? Cage rage has taken out many of incisor.
