Scruffy...Not urinating while outside in the run... help?

Hello everyone. It has been quite hot today so we have given the rabbits ice packs and they have them while in the run as well. We have moved the run onto the patio as the grass needs time to regrow. Ok so Dinky was out first and she did some wee and a pile of poops normally but now Scruffy has been out for 30 minutes and there is no sign of any wee or poops which is not normally like him. As it is Wednesday I am half cleaning the hutches (where they have been urinating/pooping) and I have found nothing unusual in the hutch. Scruffy has been weeing and pooping alright in there.

I may just be overthinking but I am wondering if it is an early sign of anything wrong? I am thinking about getting some panacur from pets at home on sunday for all the rabbits.

Edit - Ok just after I type this I go out and check on him and he has urinated. He had urinated so close to the corner of the run that most of the urine went outside the run that is why I couldn't see it from the front. I was getting worried. But I may still get some panacur for the rabbits.

Fred won't pee anywhere except his litter tray and will hold on to it for hours and make himself uncomfortable rather than go in a new spot :roll:, could it be that Scruffy is silly like him?!
