Mice would be fine too, I had some in one for a short period before I quickly went "Uggg" at the odor and switched to all rats.
I'm hesitant to put my African soft-furred rats in sterilite though.

Exactly what I did! And it worked for me. I still have a few of the tubs I bred rodents in, and they are being used for other critters (with modifications ofcourse).. and to this day, they have no teeth marks or evidence of rodent chewing.
