Hi, you don't sound stupid at all!! It's an exercise pen, usually made of metal gates. Here's the link for the one I bought for Sadie.

It's bigger than it looks, and if you don't think it would be big enough - you can connect two of them together. If Tino is a jumper, you can buy one that is taller. I used this for Sadie while I was at work until she could be trusted with a larger area. It has room for a bed, food and water, toys and pee pads. Hopefully it would just be temporarily until your little guy is more comfortable in your new home.
Good Luck!!
