You could try baking foil.  That should pretty effectively reflect IR. 
If you crumple it up and spread it out you should also get a pretty 
evenly diffused 'light' off it.  You might even be able to paint the 
surface dark so as not to spook the animals with a big shiny thing. 
Cheap to try out, so give it a go.

I am just speculating about how effective this will be but it should work.
