Moving two crested to a small tank for the holiday a bad idea?

Going away for two weeks for summer holiday soon. Got my sister to babysitt my two 8gram juveniles, currently living together in a 45x45x60 exo terra. It's quite heavy, and I have been wondering about getting a 30x30x45 for the stay. They currently live in what seems like a nice harmony with no sign of bullying or stress. But what are the odds they will start fighting if they are placed in a new smaller cage? I will splitt them up when I get back and my new naturalistic terra has grown in, but since they have been in the same cage at their previous owner for some months I figured they could stand a couple of weeks longer

You could try them in the smaller enclosure before you leave so the caregiver doesn't get any nasty surprises. You could also get two enclosures of that size (or get two 10 gallon tanks, which are easy to come by and appropriate for that amount of time) and separate them.
