What wire mesh is rat proof?

13 Apr.,2024

 



We sort of have a rat/mice problem. We also get mink/ferret and racoons here and there. So I want the bottom/floor of the mesh cage to be buried like 4-6" underground so that my tort is actually walk around on grass instead of on the mesh wire. I dont want to use metal/steel mesh because I'm scared it will eventually rust/corrode from rain going underground to it and then the mesh's chemicals will seep into the ground and then will poison the grass above, that my tort will be eating.

Would something like this be rodent proof and wouldn't corrode/get damaged by being underground for years to come? >>>

Links to solutions would be helpful so I know exactly what you're talking about. Thanks

I plan on building a big predator proof mesh cage for my leopard tort. It will have an insulated wooden house inside the cage that my tort will live in, so my tort will be able to come out of its house and eat grass whenever it wants and be protected from predators by the surrounding mesh cage on all sides.We sort of have a rat/mice problem.
