If you have not yet read this article by Lynda (Kinyonga) I would recommend it.
I like the way she houses her babies.

I have used ten gallon tanks, twenty long tanks, and tupperware tubs all without lids, if you don't have cats in the house, with success in raising babies. It is usually good for the first few months, then they need to be moved to screen. I attached a picture of one of the tubs that I have raised babies in. The thermometer was a little high when i took the photo, I had to adjust it before adding babies.

The most important thing is making it easy to find food and also keeping the humidity where its suppose to be. This cant be accomplished in a screened enclosure. Also I keep like 2 or 3 babies together so they have little or no competition for food.
