The only thing I can think of is stomatitis (mouth rot)...

If it is mouth rot, it sounds like a it could be pretty advanced. If their mouth's are nasty and bleeding you are probably past the point of being able to treat it with Nolvasan or Listerine. At this point it sounds like you will need to think about getting them on some antibiotics. Mouth rot can be a nasty problem, and if left untreated it will cause systemic infections which can lead to death.

All that being said... we don't even know if you're dealing with mouth rot. Find a reptile vet, they should be able to make a diagnosis and help you get your hogs well again.
