Guinea Pig Tube is a care resource for everyone who already shares their home with guinea pigs — or is thinking about adopting their first. Since 2017 we’ve been on a simple mission: to make trustworthy, easy-to-follow guinea pig care advice available to every owner, and to show the world just how fun, affectionate and rewarding these little animals are as pets.
Over the years our team has covered almost every part of a guinea pig’s life — from choosing a cage and the right hay, to understanding their breeds, behaviour, diet and health. Whatever question brought you here, our goal is to give you a clear, caring, accurate answer you can actually act on.
Why owners trust Guinea Pig Tube
We combine genuine love for our own guinea pigs with real professional experience in animal care. Our writers have backgrounds in veterinary and animal-care work, our content is researched against authoritative veterinary and welfare sources, and our health and illness articles are reviewed by a qualified veterinarian. We also tell you, clearly and often, when a question is one for your own vet rather than a website — because nothing online replaces hands-on veterinary care.
You can read exactly how we research, write, review and update our guides in our Editorial Policy.
Meet the team
Clarissa Moolbrock — Founder & Editor
Guinea Pig Tube was started by Clarissa Moolbrock, a veterinary technician with more than five years of professional experience in animal care and the author of the Complete Guinea Pig Care Guide: The Essential, Practical Guide To All Aspects of Caring for Your Guinea Pigs.
It all began with a single guinea pig she adopted over ten years ago. Wanting to raise a healthy, happy pet but finding little reliable information, Clarissa started researching everything she could — and fell in love with the species along the way. After more than a decade of hands-on experience, she’s become a genuine expert in small and exotic pet care, and she continues to build her knowledge through courses and veterinary conferences so that what you read here reflects current veterinary thinking.
Emily Davis — Lead Writer
Emily Davis is our lead writer and main content creator, and has written for Guinea Pig Tube since the very beginning in 2017. She brings more than ten years of professional experience as a veterinary assistant, and has kept guinea pigs of her own for over five years. Emily spends much of her free time helping stray and abandoned animals, and has seen first-hand many of the health problems we write about — experience that keeps our guides practical and grounded.
Peter Wanner, DVM — Veterinary Reviewer
Having a veterinary voice on a pet-care site matters enormously. Peter Wanner is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and, now retired from clinical practice, dedicates his time to reviewing our health-related guinea pig articles for accuracy. His input helps ensure that what we publish about illness, symptoms and care lines up with sound veterinary medicine.
Mark Spillman — Editor & Web Designer
Mark Spillman has been with Guinea Pig Tube since the start, looking after how the site looks and how smoothly it runs. A lifelong animal lover, Mark is the proud owner of two dogs and two guinea pigs of his own.
