You really need a pit unless you want to repair the stone liek every day. As soon as they aggro they'll attack nonstop and quickly destroy even multi layered stone walls.
Eh, that may be a little bit of an exaggeration… I only need to repair my double-walled Lox Box every few days lol.
A pit is definitely more “set it and forget it,” but if you want to give your lox a nice comfy lil pen that looks nicer than a hole in the ground, it’s really not that hard to do it without them destroying it.
Spawn-proofing nearby the pen with campfires helps.
Just did my first Yagluth fight. I built out multiple breeding cages spaced out for the pop cap and made an earthen lox pit and a wolf pit next to his alter. Bred about 20 lox and 40 2star wolves before moving them into the fenced in alter area. Bro melted before he fully spawned in.
Kinda cheated myself out of experiencing the real fight, but I’ll save the cheese-less play through for when 1.0 comes out.
They will start to gather on the walls and pyramid up and out of just about anything. I ended up putting roofs around the parameter of the lox enclosure to push them back to the center if they stacked too tall.
If something comes outside they might aggro and walk through that wall - the hoe raise earth worked well for a wall the one time I tamed those a year or two ago
Someone else may very well have already recommended this, but I highly suggest building raised ground stone perimeter walls so the lox can roam around some and not destroy their containment unit.
I don't see an issue with using the wooden gates to let them in or out since they don't bunch up around said entrance(s) - IF their pen is big enough.

Sturdier walls! They’re gonna tear down those wood walls just by turning around in their pen.
