What a pair of pigs

Shamelessly posting here with misleading title for traffic 🤣
I have two guinea pigs, horrendously spoilt things. Recently purchased them a new house (see image when uploaded) hence spoiled.

Now, one of them will not let the other into the bed area, chases him out. There's two beds in that area, completely separate and the same. So the ousted one sits in the other area all the time.

What do I do? Shut them both out of the bed so it's can't be hogged by one of them all day (pun intended)?

Or shut them both in at night and let them get on with it? I shut them in together for an hour yesterday and they were fine, no issues.

Going out of my mind with trying to please these two animals 🤣🤣

Well now I'm annoyed there's no photo of the piggies!

The dominant wee pig is flexing!

I'd put a box filled with bedding in the other area so the ousted guinea pig has a place to nest there if it wants to.

He has that as an option but I don't want that to HAVE to be where he sits because he can't go in the bed. I need to have a resolution for winter but just not sure the right way to go about it. I don't want to cause a fight. We've only just got past a fighting stage where we had a bite and a cut ear.
