Hi and welcome!
Your picture is too dark, but it looks definitely like a vet trip for either ringworm or mange mites, which requires different treatment. neither of them cause sudden death, but they are a clear indication of a lowered/beleaguered/not yet fully developed immune system that is under extra pressure due to stress.
How long have you had your piggies and which country are you in? Please add the latter to your account details (via your username on the top bar). We have members from all over the world and many different countries with very different climates, conditions and levels of vet and rescue access. The more we can place you, the better we can tailor any advice to what is relevant and available where you are. Links to recommended vets in various countries are included in the new owners helpful guides link.
