I'm thinking of keeping my two RES outside, but what type of fencing is needed to keep them contained? Do they dig alot? How do I prevent them from digging out?

Thanks!

there is no way to stop them from digging. just be sure if you use a fence to bury it underground at least 6''

Probably not, though it's possible. You might want to shoot for a foot, just in case something wants to dig in.
