Guinea Pigs and cages to give away to new loving home.
Hi all we adopted 2 male guinea pigs (2 years old) from a friend who were moving to England. Initially they had someone to take them but that fell through so we offered to help out. We love them but have found that 2 of my children are allergic to them and I struggle with a hay allergy. We persisted as long as possible (6 months) but have come to the conclusion that they aren't the best pets for us heartbreakingly. We would like to find another loving home for them and are happy to give the outside cage, inside cage, newspapers, tunnel and a bale of hay, free, to help their start with a new family. They squeak and respond to our voices and we have given them cuddles but not as much as we used to. They are really easy to look after. Warning - one does bite when he gets fed up with being held. I'm not sure why but seems to be a 'I've had enough' message. Maybe something happened to him previously. Please email or text if you are interested - nic_mercer007@yahoo.com / 021471485
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
