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

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
