sun worshippers ?

with the recent warm weather, it got me thinking, do rabbits prefer to be lying in the sun, or hiding in the dark ?

I have a bonded pair sitting in a pen, in the open air...they seem to be happy just sunbathing, although not direct sunlight, they never seem to go into their (smallish) hutches, except when frightened

another one is loose in the garden, but he seems to prefer the shade and undergrowth, although he will lie in the sun next to the pen, he doesn't stay there long

just wondering as I am planning a 2nd pen, but that doesn't get as much direct sunlight
 
Pepper and Squidgy love the sun, and will lie in it at any opportunity. Odd, as they're both black.
The others like to eat grass in the sun, but lie down in the shade. I think if they have some access to sun/ shade, if they want it.
