Why not just put him outside on nice days in the cage you have him in or get an old second hand one and fill it with topsoil, add some shade and water etc, those cages are the perfect protection from crows and cats etc.
If you get an old cage you can drill some holes in the bottom for drainage in case it rains and you are out.

That's a great idea! We have an old rabbit hutch that we could turn on its back so the mesh is on the top. Would that be OK - it's about 4' long?
