Is this fighting or grooming? Should I be worried

There is some times I’ve caught them doing this. Should I be worried? They like tussle a little before capy (brown one) starts doing this to basil (black and white) and basil just lays there. Im not sure if they’re fighting/declanning. Could it just be like dominance grooming? They sleep together most of the time too so?>!I have other videos if someone can look and answer for help. !<

Gerbil being weird

Is this normal? He runs around back and forth switching between objecys to bite. He also is very jumpy and scared. He runs away but I have handled him before and he use to not react like that. I just changed their set up and cage about a week ago, and took out a sand bath because him and his partner were having some dominance issues with it. Does that have anythong to do with that? He is just acting odd. My other gerbil doesn’t come out as much anymore either? Only for water and to do a few laps of digging and running around. Haven’t seen the other one much today.
