He's doing better from what he was, is it perfect? Nope, but neither is he.

Like I said, wasn't trying to rock the boat, he's definitely doing a million times better than he was before, never the less, why not offer him the best (if you can)?
I completely understand not being able to dig himself a burrow, so why not make one for him?
I've seen a lot of people use irrigation ground box's, with a hole cut in the side, about as close to a real burrow as you can get:

Or maybe a smaller version of this(awesome setup!):

Just because he can't dig himself a burrow, doesn't mean he doesn't need it.
Other things to address would be small adult enclosure size, and semi-improper diet. Sav's/Boscs are strictly invertebrate eaters.
I'll say again... not trying to rock the boat.
