Leaving bunnies in the garden

all my buns have attached runs so have access all day. Run 1 is in full sun but I have lino, a ground sheet and an old duvet cover on top for sun and rain protection, pegged down cause it keeps blowing off! Run 2 is on grass and uncovered, it has a mesh bottom so no digging out and is half in sun half shade, run 3 is on concrete and totally in the shade!
As well as just covering shade, I think that buns in exposed runs should have a box or hidey hole, they can feel very insecure if they don't have a bolt hole, especially if they are out for a long time or unsupervised. It also gives them somewhere reasonable to shelter from the elements including wind or driving rain, something over the top doesn't necessarily achieve that.

As long as the run is totally secure they would be much happier in the runs!
As someone said, as long has they have somewhere to hide they will be fine and the run will need to have mesh at the bottom as a fox could tip the run over.
