To those of you with outdoor piggies...

Squeak lives outside and so obviously has a cover on her hutch. I use green tarpaulin because I can't find a proper hutch cover the right size. When it rains I cover squeaks hutch up with the tarpaulin but that means that the hutch is dark. I've tried getting some little push lights for the inside but they are much too bright. Does anyone have any ideas how I can keep the rain out but let the light in? Thanks

How about white tarpaulin? I know that this colour lets much more light in than the green or blue

When I had an outdoor hutch I took the cover off over the summer and used see through tarpaulin. You can buy it from b and q or most hardware stores.

This is what I used http://www.diy.com/nav/build/buildi...air-Sheet-Clear-3m-x-4m-9273083?skuId=9282783 they do a smaller size too depending on how much you need http://www.diy.com/nav/build/buildi...over-Sheet-Clear-3-x-4m-9273084?skuId=9282784

Sorry, they aren't different sizes. The more expensive one is heavy duty. This is the one that I had and you get so much for your money so there is plenty left over to replace it once it gets tatty.

That seems like a really good idea! Asda sell a clear curtain for £5.00 http://direct.asda.com/ASDA-Shower-Curtain---Clear/002073612,default,pd.html

Thanks everyone x
I was thinking of clear tarpaulin but the ones I found on eBay seemed quite expensive but that one that you mentioned Claire is a good price!
