Might be a sign of bullying. The little one sleeping might very well be hiding from the active one. Separate as soon as you can and see if activity levels change for both of them.

No. I would not call that normal. It is likely that the one is intimidated by the other, even if you don't see overt aggression.

There could be other reasons too. Where did you get them? How were they started?

I bought them from a buddy's friend. This is what they where housed in.
I also know the reptile store where they came from. And he goes to all the expos in Ontario. Is reputation is good when it comes to his animals

Are you trying to be funny, or do you mean they were housed in something LIKE that?

Black around the mouth indicates that the tortoise was most likely snacking on feces.
