A few days ago I noticed the boys' nails were long so I trimmed them. Ever since then, my older boy tends to be swiping at the little one AND ME. For example, I was cleaning their cage yesterday with them in it because I had to go somewhere and didn't have the time to hunt them down after cleaning. Because I was apparently in his way of where he wanted to lay down, he swiped my hand with his paw. When him and Teddy start arguing over food, he will swipe at Teddy to get him to stop his complaining (Cute but I'm just worried about Teddy's eyes). Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to make it stop if it's not a good thing?

I mean Charlie and Teddy seem to get along other than when it comes to food. Occasionally Teddy will even sleep on the same level as Charlie. I just don't understand.
