Erf, please forgive my spazziness, but what kind of critter are they?
If you're talking ratties, it sounds like what they're doing is force-grooming him, and the screaming isn't an unheard-of reaction. My Zylle will periodically 'attack' one of my two smallest girls, and thus ensues what sounds like a bloodbath but never ends up as such.
I think they'll be fine.
As for the scratch, a dab of Neosporin (Without pain relief) on the cut should help it out. I've had a few minor nicks and cuts on the girls and nothing's ever come of it. (Though I'm WAY paranoid about abcesses, so I check any cuts a lot!)
Edit: Durr....It says rats in the title...
