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 🤣🤣

Have you ever tried them with fresh dill? That was like crack cocaine to our two. They became lunatics when that was presented 😅 their eyes somehow got bigger and squeaks deafening! 🥰🥰

Ooh, I will give it a go - although they have been disappointingly unmoved by other herbs. Their favourite thing genuinely seems to be hay. It's like Wembley Stadium in there when I get the hay out of an evening

Hopefully it won’t disappoint but they are their own little people aren’t they with their own likes and dislikes!

A parsley plant is the favourite here I think. The whole plant, only thing that holds their attention enough to cut their nails!

Mine go absolutely mad for rosemary and they also love bamboo, either just having the leaves or give them a branch and they'll strip the leaves themselves

Yep, rosemary is a favourite, hence I had to move mine to higher ground 😂
