What a pair of pigs

[Guineapigdrama]

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 🤣🤣

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.

Leave them to it 🤷‍♀️

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.

This is a useful site @Guineapigdrama

The dominant wee pig is flexing!

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

I'm sorry!!

Aw, they're gorgeous!

I would buy another house so they each have their own, and attach them together. But I'm not sure you're after ideas on how to spoil them more 😆

I did read this before I think but they already have separate beds, and separate everything but one piggie is just not being allowed in one whole area by the other.

Good god my husband might actually kill me joking I don't think even I could bring myself to spend that money again 🤣

They are so cute. minnie the big white one and pom pom the smaller one. And you can guess which is the bully, the small one! Named by my 5 year old...

Is the fuzzy one the terrorist? My fuzzy one was the dominant when we had our girlies

No! Originally he was the more dominant one. Now he's bullied by the other!

Ah just seen your update. I was wrong!

Oh my god ❤️❤️❤️ I don’t believe the white one is real though 🤣

Need two of everything. They are demanding pets@!

I have had piggies for years, they always got on and never argued, so no advice really, im just here for the piggy photos.

Sorry can't help although used to have piggies, mum and 2 daughters. I'm only here for more photos 😆

Here you go 😁

Awww thank you ❤️

They have two of everything inside their 8 foot by 4ft house 🤣

Why can't you move one of the covered beds to the place where he ends up sleeping? Will they not be housed inside in winter?
It looks like quite a small space to have those two beds closed in together if they haven't been getting on very well recently.
My guinea pigs have several beds and hidey areas and they all just pick between them. Sometimes they squabble but we leave them to it, if they're bonded it shouldn't get violent over beds. Hopefully the dominant pig will calm down when the novelty of the bed has worn off a bit too but I'd look at moving one if you can.

I am really really impressed with their new house. It's wonderful.
And the piggies are just gorgeous.
Sorry no advice but your thread is brilliant!

They are so very sweet but the cream, fluffy one on the left looks like a trouble maker 😂
