Ducks won't use house

[Soon2BChixMom]

I must have unusual ducks. Mine have put themselves to bed every night for the past week since they transitioned to be in their outside run. Only one night, I had to put them in early due to a storm rolling in.
That night, I enticed them in with meal worms. I guess it could change as they get older.

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful advice! I mostly want them to understand they have the option to use the house to get out of really strong sun or weather. I'll feel bad if I block off the underneath and take their shelter away. The run is really fortified so it's totally fine if they choose to sleep outside.

I'll work on making the ramp more web friendly and try to get them in with peas. They don't like being picked up so I think that would be more of a punishment. Thanks a lot and I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Do you have other options for them to get out of the sun into shade?

Mine would sleep outside in their run if I let them. They prefer sleeping under some hedges to their dog house.
