A) Probably just foam from them sucking so hard.
B) Get her away from the suckers

Usually the one doing the sucking is not the problem. It's the one letting them suck. No matter, seperate.

Yes, you can possibly ruin her teats if you let it continue. If they are going through a development stage you could even cause an infection in the teat/udder, ruining a 1/4 or more. Move the heifer as soon as possible, and seperate the calve(s) if they persist with other animals after the heifer in question is not available.
