Answer
Hello Faith,
First I must point out that all those capitals are UNNECESSARY! In case you are currently unaware of this, this is a volunteer site, I do this on my free time. I try my best but I do not just sit and wait for things, or get paid. After a long day of after-grad job hunting and planning my wedding, this 25 year old could use a break! You know what I'm talking about?

As for the questions:
"I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU CAN TELL WHEN IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO GIVE BIRTH TO THERE LITTER." The answer to this is simple, she will start to breath heavily and scurry, maybe eat some last minute poo poos. After that she will become calm all of a sudden and then brace yourself for the birth. Remember that this is a trained professional in the baby making category, this guinea pig of yours. Let her do her own thing.
