You would be much better off expanding their space now, even if they seem fine at the moment. They're going to hit their teens in a short time and if you decide to change their housing then, that could spell trouble for their bond. That period of their life can already be fraught without adding environmental changes to the mix. They need their minimum all the time because they're closed into that area. 3 hours isn't really enough and won't help if they can't get away from each other.

i feel so bad! My parents won’t let me upgrade at the moment as we currently don’t have enough space. They said it’s possible in a couple of months though. What could i do to already expand the store bought cage? It would need to be cat proof!
Unfortunately not. Would a ramp to one be ok?As I've said, it won't be enough. Boars are more territorial and need that space from the beginning. They need to be able to get away from each other. And to be frank, 120x60 isn't enough by the time you put in two hides and hay area etc. I know because I've been there. My boys actually started off in something smaller than that but were very soon upgraded because it just wasn't enough.
They need their minimal space because that's where they will be 'closed in' most of the time. Are you able to set up a permanent play pen that they can live in?
At what age are they teens?Floor time helps, but for times when they are in the cage, it’s not really big enough for two boars. Lack of space can and does cause problems for teen boars. Mine originally had 150x60, teens hit with the vengeance and they needed an upgrade immediately. As siikibam has said, upgrading in itself can cause problems so you have to be so careful. The choice is yours but 120x60 for a teen boar pair is risky
At what age are they teens?
I don’t have a car but the person who looks after them when I’m holiday does... my parents also want a roofI don't know that it would work because of your cat. You're better off with something with a lid, unless you can stop your cat going in the same room. But I assume you can't.
