One of our babies, when cuddling with us, bends over and snatches her poop as it comes out and eats it. She only does this while being cuddled, do I need to worry about this weird behaviour?

Guinea pigs have to eat their poop. It means they are getting back vitamins they would lose if they did not eat it. They all do it and it is very healthy. They can become ill if they are unable to eat their poop.
Oh! Wow it seems there is still a lot I still need to learn about Guinea Pigs!

She probably does it in her cage too but you've not spotted it.
Not something i'd fancy doing but each to their own!

Maybe you could do some research online? It really helped me when I did not know these things.
