Expertise

I can answer every question anyone has! I am always willing to hit the books for other owners!

Experience in the area

I have had 7 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!

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 seventh time about animal pet care facts. Nothing big, just me and a few other writers.

What do you like about this subject?

I LOVE giunea pigs. I want the world to love them, and to stop eating them ;) !

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to one day educate classes of children on the wonders of small animals at my local shelter, but currently there are not enough funds.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Guinea pig females actually eat less when they are pregnant, not more as many owners think is a sighn :) !
