Grim seems diffrent... i just grabed my two lil guys... reaper is energetic as usual... but grim... he didnt want to be held at first... and when i was scratchin him behind the ears to calm him down, he was braxxing, but 1 of his eyes shut... and it happens to be the 1 that had the dried blood around it... he can open it though... what could be wrong? or is this just a new response to something he likes?
uh-oh...

You should take Grim to a vet who treats small animals. I've had some problems like this before. Red discharge from the nose an eyes is never a good sign. The sooner you take your lil guy in the better. If it is a respiratory problem your vet will subscribe him to some antibiotics and within a week he will be back to normal 
Most rats baught from stores do have some kind of respiratory problem, thats why many rat owners buy from breeders. I never did, but I will one day!
Heres a site that has some info:

ty for that bit of info... now i have another problem... and this 1, i HAVE to go to the vet tommrow... reaper went after grim, just messin around, and i think grim cracked 1 of reapers ribs, but im not 100%... i have them apart atm, and reaper on my shoulder... he can still move his legs, arms, tail, his breathing is a lil fast... and he feels "loose", like a slinky almost...

Yeah...I know how you feel. I had a problem with my two boys when they were going through their "I’m the boss" stage. They tend to fight a lot and can be very territorial about stuff in their cage. I had to separate my two because Jay beat the you-know-what out of Bob and one night my BF woke me up and I guess Bob got him back and now I have a one eyed Jay. But today they are the best of friends, it just takes time. (This is ONE of the reasons why they were fixed, haha)
yea, i think i would loose most of my will to fight etc if i was missin what made me a male too
but reaper seems to have his breating okay... i think im gonna slowly bring em back togeather... start them off in 2 diff tanks nxt to eachother... just picture a 4 yr old, against a 14 yr old... thats grim and reaper... hes got balls bigger then his brains, medaphorically, and prob litterally too

That was a message from Jay and Bob...I guess they wanted to say hello cuz they just started to walk all over the kayboard.
