They would benefit from the floor being filled with hay. They love to burrow in it, make tunnels and eat their way out and generally play in hay. Cardboard tubes cut down the side and filled with (yes you've guessed it!) hay. Paper bags available from Amazon with veg in and folded up so that they have to eat their way through the bag to get at the treats inside (@PigglePuggle does this). Forage Products – Piggie Parcels sprinkled around so that your piggies have to find it. Do you scatter feed their pellets and veg?
I agree with all of the above - lots more boxes, tunnels and piles of hay.
It's a nice space but I think they would get a lot more out of it if it was fuller.

Just had another thought
. Do you have any cardboard eggboxes? Fill them with veg and let your piggies work out how to get the veg out.

They very much enjoyed it and veg time certainly took much longer!

I love it when piggies have food or a little treat, sometimes you think been several days since last food,
Bless them.
I make a hay bomb, little leaves in some hay screw it up into a ball and give it to them.

I agree, they need more floor covering as they don't like to use bare floor. They might be more active if it's more comfortable for them. You can put big pile of hay on the floor and hide forage herbs and their veg in it.
My boys like tunnels to race through.

They won't be able to climb over it as it is all fluffed up so if they sit on top of it it will all just Squish down
