Welcome Shani! Your pigs are really cute. That's nice of you to take care of the boy pig and find him a home. You didn't mention it, but he's in a different cage, right?

thanks for the welcomes
and of course he is, wouldn't want any accidents happening haha
but i do have a question, the girl i just got from craigslist i have noticed has lice, she's in her own cage right now for quarantine, but all the cages are in the same room around each other, though neither of the other two appear to have gotten any lice should i treat them all still? can they get it if they don't actually have contact? i would do it in a heartbeat my only issue is cost right now

Quarantine should be done in a separate room. I'd say the chances of all having the lice are pretty good. Advantage is good for lice--one tube should take care of all the pigs. Check out dosage info on http://www.guinealynx.info/antiparasitics.html .

If they are in the same room, you are not quarantining. Please read http://www.guinealynx.info/quarantine.html and that site over.
