Dont freak out!! what there doing is normal, youd be worried if they WERN'T eating their poo. My rabbit does it all the time. When he was sick the vet asked me if hed been eating his poo , i replied no, and she said its very important for rabbits and gunea pigs digestion, theres actually alot of nutrients in there poo. Your guinea pigs are fine!!

My female guinea pig eats her own poo too, so relax!
It is part of a guinea pig's instinct.
Actually, they eat it because it has leftover nutrients in it.
