Molly's cut her nose

Whilst I was doing their hutch, they were in the carrier. They started fighting and now Molly has a cut nose that is bleeding. What shall I do? I think it's because they were in a tight space and they are females afterall. Should I take her to the vet now, see how it is later or leave it? They are now happily eating in their hutch together.
 
It has now scabbed over and it's right underneath her nose, where the two nostrils meet. She seems very happy within herself. Milly is fine too. Is there anything I should look for over the next few hours and will she be ok? What about their fighting? Will it become a regular occurance?
 
Awww I'm sure it'll be OK - just keep an eye on it and make sure it's not weeping or swollen :) As for them fighting I don't know - I would put them in the run when I clean their hutch, even if the weather's bad - you can peg some plastic on the top if it's temporary maybe?
 
Here's a blurry piccie of her scabbed nose:
