Guinea Pig Tube was founded because I LOVE Guinea Pigs. It all started with one guinea pig that I quite accidentally bought over a 10 years ago. I wanted to raise a healthy guinea pig but had zero knowledge about how to do that. Some information I found on the internet has hurt more than it helped.

We are working on one of a kind Guinea Pig e-book. Do you want to be notified when it's released?
