Answer
Hello,
Guineas get the same sort of 'sleepies' in their eyes as we do so don't worry too much. If it is a large one and seems to be irritating him then get a cotton wool pad and wet it and gently pull it away from his eye. When you get him out and it's only small then you can gently rub your finger near the side of his eye untill it falls of, make sure you don't poke him in the eye or irritate him.
I hope this helps.
