I had the same concern when I first built my rack. The lab block seemed way too big for the rats to access through the 1/2" hardware cloth.
They haven't had a bit of trouble with it though. They gnaw chunks off through the cloth and nom nom nom all day long. I'll sometimes see smaller rats jump up and hang completely upside down, just eating the food as if it were laying on the floor of the tub.
