Hi guys, yesterday I got two lovely girls called Maeve and Margo, I got them from a lady who said they were very loved and well taken care of but now I have them I can see that’s not really the truth

I’ve already done my google research, and I know it does look like Bumblefoot, but it isn’t scabbed or anything. Maeve has hard lumps on the back of her feet that you can see in the pic, almost like blisters, and it looks like she’s developing spurs too. I have had guinea pigs before who never had this so I don’t know what to do.
I know the easier option is to take them to the vets, and I have called many who have said they aren’t treating small animals, I have to pay a £200 consultation fee as they aren’t already registered, and just given me home advice instead (to change their bedding).
Does anyone know what I can do because it seems I can get to a vet any time soon. She’s very quiet and timid, her sister Margo is more friendly but it looks like it’s developing on her feet too.
Is there any way of me treating it at home, or at least helping her feel more comfortable until we can finally find a vet that will have a look at them. I’ve heard about doing Epsom salt soaks if anyone knows about that?
And finally is there anything anyone would recommend for a general clean up of them to make sure they’re a bit healthier. I’ve only had them since 6pm yesterday and just feel so sorry for the poor things

Thank you in advance! Any advice on anything is welcome
