My Guinea's may have diarrhea

Help! I just got these guys about 2 days ago and I noticed some of them have a hard poop cap over their butts. Is there something I can do to help them? I don't want to lose any. Thanks so much!

Yes you must clean it off or they won't be able to poo and die.
Warm, not hot and not cold, water should help it to come off....coconut oil will help too.
What ever you do DO NOT PULL it off..you will pull the insides out.

Q tip dipped in coconut oil....vaseline....
think of things along those lines.

Make sure their brooder is no TOO hot too.

It may have been/is too hot. The temp was reading 98 so I raised the lamp and now it says 94 under the light. The farthest area from the lamp says 88.
