Does anyone know what this is? It's not a very good picture but it's a white bubbly thing on his lip and I just barely saw this. Idk how long he's been having it but I just want to know what it is? Please and thank you!

It is really hard to tell from the photo. Is it hard and appears to be stuck on? If so then it is likely to be "boar glue" (i.e. semen), which in piggies sets rock hard. This is a common place to find it (as well as the nose) as they clean themselves. You can try soaking it off, or it will drop off by itself. If it isn't boar glue and you are worried, take him to the vet to put your mind at rest.
