What about something like chicken wire across the top of your enclosure? Also what about a concrete base underneath so foxes and rats cant dig under?

A stronger wire than chicken wire would be good as Foxes get through that easily. A skirt of mesh/wire around the enclosure would stop them digging under, though a concrete base as Sophie suggested would do the trick nicely too.
