Sounds like coccidiosis, makes their poop bloody. They will need an antibiotic, Sulmet is the most commonly used. I use medicated feed and have never actually had to personally deal with coccidiosis, so hopefully someone here will chime in and help you out a little more than I can.

I think if they get sick enough they will stop eating and drinking, it is very important that they drink because they are getting dehydrated from the bloody diarrhea. I hope they are still doing ok!
