a cage is basically just a box. Make as big a box as you can make out of plywood, then make it waterproof inside with something like frp board and put windows/doors on the front. Put a mall vent on one side about half way up the wall and mount some light sockets on the ceiling and screw in some floodlights for day and night. Then furnish with lots of bark (not sticks :) and put in some deep substrate (dirt and/or oak leaves). Good luck.
