i just bought two guineas at Petco about 4 days ago. One has been sneezing while the other has crusty eyes. I went back to ask them about it and they said its because of the bedding that caused the sneezing (which i changed and she sill sneezes) and the crusty eyes was due to my guinea not being able to clean it because she was too young. I don't know if this is true because I looked online and it said crusty eyes could be some sickness... Advice??

Can you take them to a vet for a checkup? They can rule out infection,weight them for you, give an approximate age, and make sure they're the correct gender.

Yeah, Petco gave me a 15 day guarantee but they advised me that it was normal. I'm still planning on taking them anyway just to be sure but I just wanted to know in advanced f it was something to worry about.

It is possible they've become unwell due to the stress of being moved to a new home. I would agree that going to a vet is the best option. If it's not a reaction to bedding it's probably a minor infection that can be cleared up.
