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 - Get a new guinea pig

Expert: Nicole Bury - 10/28/2009

Question
I would like to get a new guinea pig (boy or girl). would they start to fight? I have two brothers at the time.

Answer
Hello Olivia!
First I suggest two things, first check out the local shelters and consider giving a second hand or accidental baby giunea pig a second chance at the world. Second is I suggest a boy.
I do believe that they will fight. But this does not last for long if you have a see though divider in there cage and give them lots of supervised floor time together.
You can check out my previous responses for some geat advice on getting them to know each other.
