Mine did the very day I put them into these black tubs
chasing asf's about is no fun...
I barely caught a little escapist before he chewed a big enough hole in one of my tubs last week. I looked at the rest of the tubs and it turns out that most of them have been nibbling on that hole. I ended up doing the same thing you did with the hardware cloth, minus the plastic zip ties. Seems to be working okay so far. Definitely not a big enough hassle to keep 1K rats in glass tanks!
