you don't give your location, but if you are inside it's natural range, simply make sure your pen drains well, then prepare a spot. Loosen the soil several inches deep with a spade or garden-weasel. Top the spot with a large pile of mulch/grass/leaf mixture or whatever is handy that they can burrow under and be well insulated while it won't blow away.
They'll do the rest.
