Hi all the boys are 7 weeks old and I Have noticed they both have little creamy coloured bugs crawling in their fur ! have read a few posts on here and think they must have lice ? what is the best thing to use given their age ? silly question :red is it still ok for my three children to handle them whilst they have them ?
 
It sounds very much like running lice! Good news - lice are specific to a species and are not transmittable!

Best contact gorgeous guineas. They can advise you best about how to treat your babies. They sell lice'n'easy shampoo, which is supposedly the best shampoo available for lice.

i was given some shampoo called 'flea or die' and it works wonders! I looked in their fur straight after their bath and they were all dead
