They seem to be content with just laying there all day but is there anything I can get them to keep them occupied all day? They have a few chew toys but that's it. And they don't even really touch them.
How Do I Keep Pigs Occupied All Day

My two piggies like to run through tunnels and hide in piles of hay. You can try scattering their pellets into the hay so they have to find them. But mostly they just eat and sleep.

They do run through the tunnels, at least the boys do. The girls popcorn around and S'more likes to chew on the side of her hidey's doorway and flip it over. I came home one day and both hideys were upended and the thing with the dangly chew toys was broken in half. I don't know what the hell happened but they just sat there staring at me like "Where in God's name were you and where the **** is my lettuce?"
Just a quick question - do you have boars and sows living together? If so, are the boars neutered?
Being kept in pairs is the main form of enrichment but otherwise big piles of hay to play in!
Chew toys are usually ignored by most piggies.

One big cage. Two girls on one side, two boys on the other but there is a wall in between with cardboard panels alongside it so they can't see each other.
