Thanks for the comment!

I saw your bins after I posted this lol. I was trying something similar before and I noticed a few of the zip ties on the side were chewed off. Mind you I have mostly ASF and they chew at everything haha.

The reason I like the wood (although your right, its a huge pain in the arse to deal with it LOL), is that it puts a barrier between the rats, the wire's and the plastic edges lol. ZERO chance of chew out, and ZERO chance of injury from the wire. I like to have the wire on the inside to protect the plastic edges, and the wood protects the rats from any sharp pieces lol. Plus I live in an apartment and if I had any get out I'd be screwed haha.

I like to play it safe, I'm just that kinda guy HAHA.

Thanks for checking out the thread!

Cheers,
Chris.
