More recently, my little girl had lumps around her genitalia and whiteish stool. However that has now resolved. But both of them have loose stools all the time. In fact, I think it's been like that since I got them (at 2 weeks). I believe that was the reason the girl had lumps on her (from irritation). In the past week or so, they have had more of a jelly like yellowish green stool with white flecks. It's more liquidish but thick. It doesn't really seem to be bothering them, but ther bottoms are constantly covered in feces. I feel terrible now that this may be a problem I have failed to fix all this time and now it's worse :(
Another thing I noticed is they both kind of shiver after eating. The formula is never cold (Luke warm) but it only really happens then. It's nothing like a seizure and they both do it.
They are approximately 10 weeks and still eating powdered esbilac 3x day (about 10-12ml at the most). The girl is beginning to reject the formula though. They have also recently started eating Henry's baby squirrel blocks.

What else are they eating besides the Esbilac?
Does the poo have an order to it?
That whiteish poo usually indicates overfeeding of formula. The diarrhea could be caused by many things so please list their full diet.

At this point it's only the formula and the Henry's high protein blocks.

Any ideas? Thir coats are constantly covered stool. I had to remove their nesting box from their cage until this all resolves because their was stool all over it and the smell was terrible. I feel so bad for them :(
Their now not eating any HHB and only formula.

Is there any chance you could have a fecal done? Giardia and coccidia are both possibilities.
