Hello we have always had indoor guinea pigs but due to space our new piggies are outdoor ones. They have a nice hutch with plenty of shelter upstairs and the downstairs is open and they have a run. Hutch is on the grass but I’m concerned when weather changes they will need a hutch cover. The hutch from pets at home only covers the hutch and not the run which is part of the hutch. Any ideas please?

If a picture of your hutch and run set up may be useful as there are a variety of hutch and connected run versions available.
The hutch will absolutely need to be covered and insulated to keep them warm. They won’t be able to be out in the run in cold and wet weather.

I’m guessing your hutch is like this.....
You need insulation and a hutch cover as shown below! I think run covers are sold separately for summer rain/sun but I wouldn’t use the outdoor run in winter
