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.

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.

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
