Rats engage in a lot of physical activity together, running, jumping on each other, and standing on hind legs to box at each other. These are all types of play-fighting. Real fighting is more serious, and usually involves attacks on the rump. You can find more information here: http://www.ratbehavior.org/norway_rat_ethogram.htm#PlayFighting.
