Show me pics of your Mouse colonies

I think making a mesh lid, which is all your doing, sounds like a lot more work and has no guarantees for those of us that aren't handy.
I'll stick with my lids that snap on and in my case have locks on them.

The only reason I can see to eliminate the lids is if you're building an actual rack. Otherwise why dispose of something made to fit the tubs?

Ok. It literally takes about 5 minutes. If you are not handy with power tools, have your local hardware store make the cuts for you. The lids can be made to fit snug. I have never had an escapee.

I've done the tub lid thing too and I have to say, it sucked...for me. I even have a better way to make your holes, but you probably wouldn't like that either. No harmful burnt plastic smell and even quicker to do.

As far as racks, some people don't want to breed that many. I personally prefer racks. Clean, feed, and water once a week.

Just thought I'd share.
