I noticed that all 4 of my guinea pigs have really wet mushy like poo- I've just switched them over from timothy hay to orchard hay and it happened right after I did so.

Mushy poo?

Sometimes different types of hay can cause it. Some can be too rich and their digestion isn’t used to it. It’s best to mix two different hays together to transition. I know some members have had issue with a particular type of hay from a supplier here where it was too rich and was causing soft poops.
Personally, my piggies have meadow hay all the time but they were also fed Timothy hay. I then changed from Timothy to orchard hay and had no issues with their digestion. As I say though, they always have a mix of two types is hay.
You might need to go back to Timothy and mix it with a small amount of orchard to transition.
