2 Guinea pigs desperately needing to be rehomed

I'm trying to rehome two guinea pigs. Peanut who is quite a character and Jelly who is quite timid. would rather they be loved by someone who wants to spend time with them, than exist at my house with little interaction from anyone.

It's quite hard to get photos of them but both have red eyes, one is short-haired, and one is long-haired (I think that's how you describe them).

My daughter bought them in February 2023, they were supposed to be babies but looked the size of adults. She was told they were both spayed females. We have had no babies so I know at least one of that information is correct.

I'm happy for the cage to go with the guinea pigs, it is homemade and currently lifted off the ground as the area where they are housed floods - another reason why I need them to be rehomed. I believe animals should be able to at least eat and feel the grass under them.

Cage details: Length - 179cm, width -105cm (with roof overhang 130cm), height - front of cage 79cm, back of cage 65cm

I don't know much about them but want them gone within the next 5 days.

The wind the other night lifted the top part of the roof off the lid hence the bricks holding it down but that is being fixed tomorrow.

Hi neighbours
We are still looking for a house to rent, long term, by December.
If you know of, or have, a 2 plus bedroom, with a garage, in the HNHS zone, please let me know. I’m looking for a place for me, my teen son and our small, very house trained cat.
I can’t afford a lot (certainly not the crazy rents investors are asking), but I can do most maintenance myself, and I’m happy with a compliant fireplace.
We’ve been looking for nearly 2 years already, with no luck, and time is not on our side.
Even if it’s just for a year, to give us a chance to find something permanent, or as permanent as living in someone else’s house can be.

I had put them out on Monday night, Tuesday being collection morning, but they have since simply vanished into thin air. I thought that maybe as a result of the strong winds that night, they may have ended up on someone's property, driveway etc. I would be very grateful therefore if anyone has seen these, could they let me know, as when I rang the Council, they said it would cost me to replace them. My address is 3/405 Nelson St Sth., Hastings

I have a lot of lovely handcrafted wooden items to sell. I’m trying to raise funds for urgent teenage dental care, that apparently isn’t funded.

I have breadboards, rolling pins, kitchen utensils, a kitchen office/bathroom/caddy, 3D fish portraits, doorstops, a little village with 6 buildings, some baskets, a bottle/can crate, bird feeders and more.

I also need to clear out to move house and pay the woodworker back for his work.

Prices are on the pictures.
If you are wanting to come and see what I have, please message me.
