Have you taken them to the vet? That should be your first step if you are going to try to keep them.

More than likely they have at least one type of parasite. Probably more than one including worms and fleas. Because of their age, only a vet can give you a safe way to handle their problems. Once you know what is causing the bumps and itching we can give you tips on taking care of yourselves and home.

I agree with Cat. I can almost 100% guarantee these guys have worms AND fleas. They need to be seen by a vet for proper care and medication.

In the mean time give them a warm bath in dawn dish soap, make sure to dry them well and keep them warm.
