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.

Question
i DID NOT GET AN ANSWER ABOUT WHAT i HAD ASKED EARLIER TODAY SO I WILL ASK IT ONE MORE TIME. MY GUINEA PIG IS PREGNANT AND I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU CAN TELL WHEN IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO GIVE BIRTH TO THIER LITTER.SHE IS CONSTANTLY MOVING AROUND LIKE SHE IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF THAT IS A SIGN AND ALSO WILL SHE STILL BE SCURRYING AROUND THE CAGE IF SHE IS READ Y TO DELIVER?

HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON,

FAITH

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.
