About Nicole Bury
Expertise
I can answer every question anyone has! I am always willing to hit the books for other owners! I and my husband between me have 6 guinea pigs and one expecting, that we intend to keep 2 of. I can help with idle questions, everyday problems to serious health problems but I always sugget seeing a vet!

Experience
I have had 14 guinea pigs in my life with more to come. I have volunteered at the local shelter just to work with the small animals on a weekly basis and I have been to countless vets to soak up there advice, as well as looking in my 50 something books on guinea pigs. I know almost everything I can wrap my head around about guinea pigs! Sometimes my husband, who is an exotic bird vet/guinea pig fanatic helps me with the questions to!

Organizations
I belong to S.A.R.S. BC. It stands for Small Animal Rescue Shelter.

Publications
The Vancouver sun.

Education/Credentials
I have taken community courses for pet care, including small animals, but I have not been to school formal education (I am not a vet). Currently I am in the process of becoming a published author and I have my degree in creative writing. Someday I will have my masters. I teach local classes for advanced creative writing and literature for teens.

Awards and Honors
I have had my writing published in the paper for the fourtenth time about animal pet care facts. Nothing big, just me and a few other writers.

Guinea Pigs - Guinea pig pregnancy

Expert: Nicole Bury - 10/30/2009

Question
i have three pregnant guinea pigs!! all sold to me from a pet store i have no idea how far along they are. all of them have started pulling out there fur one is noticeably big one is just kinda looking fat and one is really small and fat... i have had a pregnant guinea pig before but i really need to know how far along thay are and what to do!

Answer
Hello Bella,
Wow! Now that IS a predicament! I must say first that that was a VERY irresponsible pet store!
But you may want to consider that they may just be 'big boned' guinea pigs, like my girl Gypsy.
Now Bella, I am afraid that there is no way to tell how far along they are but you know that they are close to there due date when you can actually see that they are large, lumpy and a little misshapen. Other than that there is no way to tell how far along they are.
I suggest looking at some of my other responses to questions about they care of pregnant guinea pigs before and after birth.
