Basil lives outside. He lives in an x-pen that surrounds a tree and is blocked on one side so it stays shaded at all times. About a quarter of his living space is river rock, three quarters is grass. He also has two bunny houses and a water mister for hot days. He gets a nice long romp in my bunny proof backyard daily. Eventually, I will give him the run of the back yard. That has to wait until he's bigger though because my roommate has 2 4lb dogs that still think he's a mouse. He's a checkered giant mix and might have some Flemish too, so he'll eventually get big enough that i won't have to worry about them.
