I have had my boys 2 nearly 3 weeks now and now they are settled in (very out going) they r getting bored. I have forage but that doesn't last long lol what can I do to help them stop being bored.
 
A big pile of hay in the middle of the cage. They can run through it, hide in it and eat their way out, forage their way in it looking for the tastiest bits, wee on it, poop on it and generally have fun spreading it around. You may see this as wasted hay as you throw a lot out but it's not wasted if your Piggies have got a lot of enrichment from it.

you I do that already
 
Do they have tunnels to run through? How old are they? Maybe they are just in the manic young boar stage and will settle soon. 😍
 
A toilet roll inner stuffed with hay gives mine plenty of entertainment. Or you can make the inner cardboard roll into a sort of ball by cutting the tube into strips and then making them into a ball with the hay inside to make them work harder for it. I'm sure there is a tutorial on youtube showing how to do that.
Have you looked at the guide which gives loads of enrichment ideas?
